Chapter 1739: Chapter 1737: Awakening
Of course.
Han Dong would not be angry because of the Count’s ‘rebellious’ actions.
He could pretty much understand that the Count’s rebellious mentality mostly came from the influence of the “Demon Book”… After all, even someone as ‘pure’ as the Pope could be corrupted by it.
The Count experiencing a certain psychological change was entirely normal.
Han Dong even hoped the Count would become more aggressive, which would be beneficial for various battles to come.
At the same time, Han Dong also allowed the Count to occupy a private territory within the Consciousness Space, which was the existence of the Scarlet Mansion.
Since everything in the Consciousness Space was resolved, Han Dong didn’t linger any longer.
If possible, Han Dong would like to continue the Abyss Party.
“Consciousness Returning”
Tick tock! Tick tock!
A clock made from different leg bones was ticking.
Apparently, Han Dong was still within the [Time Chamber] of the Third Chaos – Vangelis.
His body was lying on a bed made of tens of thousands of legs, which would rhythmically press against his back, even providing a sort of massage to the soul.
Clearly, this was the bed of the Third Chaos – Vangelis.
“You’re awake!”
Again, a familiar greeting, bringing back many unpleasant memories for Han Dong.
However, when he scanned the room, he found no one present.
Just as he was about to expand his sensory field, the [Leg Bed] he was lying on began to writhe, with some limbs assembling together to form the head of Vangelis.
This head, wearing a terrifying smile, appeared right next to Han Dong’s face.
Such a jolt,
gave Han Dong the feeling as if he were sleeping on the body of this Chaos King, causing him to leap off the bed as if electrocuted.
“Senior, this bed… is it you?”
“Hmm?”
Soon.
Vangelis’s true form emerged from within the leg bed,
He was merely merged into the bed, not the body of the leg bed.
Han Dong’s brain retained Vangelis’s ‘humanoid form’… a slender male with a Time Gem embedded in his chest and multiple knee and calf branches.
Slowly coming to his senses, Han Dong also picked up on two other scents.
“Hmm? Senior, why is there a trace of Green and Sally here?”
“They helped greatly at the moment you were about to die.
With your Myth Breakthrough and prolonged unconsciousness, they were forced to leave the party.
Moreover, if one’s own ‘speed’ doesn’t keep up, staying here for a long time can be quite damaging to the body.
However, you needn’t worry…”
Whoosh!
Vangelis, who was sitting by the bed, instantly appeared in front of Han Dong, reaching out to press the center of the Black Whirlpool on his abdomen.
“At the last moment, considering we were evenly matched, I lent the ‘Time Gem’ to your body for a while… Currently, your body can adapt well to the flow rate here.
Staying for ten days to half a month is no problem at all.”
“Thank you, senior!”
“Even though your actions were quite reckless, they did reveal a genuinely pure mad nature… Considering some connections, I don’t wish for you to just die like that.
The flow rate here differs from the outside, approximately at a 1:10 ratio.
Don’t worry about time consumption, let’s talk about the Fate Chess Card?”
“Sure, senior, ask whatever you want.”
“Have you specifically studied the Fate Chess Card secretly, or during your growth and adventures in [Fate], did you specifically train in this area?”
“Not really.
It’s just that during a [gate-opening], I played a long and memorable card game… It had a huge impact on me, to the extent that the related rules and basic gameplay have deeply imprinted in my mind.
Sometimes, I even play a few games in my dreams.”
“You’ve only played it once during the gate-opening? What kind of monster are you?”
Vangelis actually used the term monster,
Bear in mind that before he became the “Abyss Regulator,” any star region he set foot in would invoke collective fear, regarded as a chaos monster in the eyes of demons.
“Maybe it’s because I’m in a pretty good state.
Besides, if the final result were measured by health points, I actually lost… If my memory is correct, my health was at [-9] after taking damage, while senior should be at [-7].”
“Alright! Let’s wrap up this matter.
Speaking of which, do you want this thing? I’m completely uninterested in touching it again… Since you have such talent, I’ll give it to you.
Although the stone plate is somewhat inferior to the real card game, they are roughly similar, if you truly have interest, you can continue to supplement it.”
Vangelis handed over the stone plate folded into a normal size.
“This… Thank you, senior.”
Han Dong was well aware of the value of this item.
If he had this, he could even later collaborate with the Doctor for special ‘brain training.’
“It’s not entirely free either, I have a few questions… You’re a ‘talent’ like I’ve never seen before.”
“Ask away, senior.”
“Naya’s eldest brother has such a keen eye for people.
The source of your brain should be the ‘prison’ that the elder brother was replaced with [Dreamlands] in the Ancient Times, right?”
Since the other party guessed to such an extent, and referred to the Gray Walker as ‘elder brother,’ Han Dong did not hide and nodded slightly, “Mm…”
“Just as I thought, I knew he wouldn’t abandon this great design.
Only, I never imagined it would be presented in such a way… Perhaps this mode is better than directly using it as a ‘refuge’ like Dreamlands, truly worthy of him.”
“By the way! There’s something I want to tell you, senior.”
“What is it?”
“Senior should also be quite an ancient existence, have you ever had contact with [Fate Space]?”
“Are you referring to that tower? When I first emerged, they hadn’t closed it off to us, and I did play a few Fate games… They were quite nice.
Unfortunately, conflicts arose later, so I stopped participating.
Looking back, it’s been very long ago, feeling a bit nostalgic.”
“Do you know the Black Tower, senior?”
“Hmm… Why? Is there something wrong?”
Han Dong immediately detailed the possible out-of-control incident of the Black Tower,
After listening, Vangelis revealed a tongue full of floating legs, exhibiting an excited and crazed expression.
“Oh? Really?
That tower can’t even contain them? It seems the ‘out of control’ you mentioned are quite dangerous beings… To be honest, I’ve gotten a bit tired of staying down here, just as I was thinking of finding some playmates.
If these out of control ones really dare to come over, I will have a good play with them.”
Just like that.
Han Dong also took the opportunity to broadcast this piece of information within the Chaos, and the Third Chaos as a regulator should pass on this information.
A world gear with a chaotic hue also started to rotate.
