"Burn!"
Beyond the ruins in the snowy mountains of Niflheim, Loki holds a torch.The prince's eyes shone with determination and anger, and he said to the others around him, "There is no other way, we must burn this place." ”"Your Highness!"
A Golden Palace guard with a tomahawk on his back looked at the "people" wandering in the ruins with some unbearable feeling.He whispered dissuasion: "Maybe they can still be saved, maybe we...""
They're hopeless!"
Behind Loki, an elderly rune guard whispered, "Their souls have been left behind in the nightmare, and have become a springboard between the nightmare and reality, extending the power of the nightmare to the real world...""
In the process of that transfer, their souls have been crushed.""
All you see are living shells."
The old man sighed, and he also held a flaming torch.He turned and shouted to the soldiers who didn't know much about magic, "The evil that lurks deep in dreams is filling their shells, and once they are fused, our people will become brainless monsters, minions of nightmares." ”"They are hopeless, all we can do is give them the last bit of dignity!""
His Highness Loki has made the right decision."
The old man clenched the badge in his hand and said, "In the name of the Great Rune Tower, we support Your Highness's decision!"
”"We must burn down this city and incinerate those remnants of the Nightmare Power, or it will continue to corrupt Niflheim... and even spread to other worlds. ”"We'll find the monster hiding in the dream!"
Loki's cold voice rang out in the evening, and he said to the others, "In Odin's name, we will never let it go!"
”"Burn!"
His Royal Highness closed his eyes, and he threw his torch towards the ruins in front of him.The magic-covered flames began to burn as soon as they touched the ruins.Behind Loki, the others threw out their torches.With the help of the rune guards of the Great Rune Tower, the flames above the ruins burned extremely violently, like a storm blown by the wind, and in a posture that swept everything, it quickly ignited the ruins of the entire castle.Probably because the nightmare had too much energy left here, and when the flames came into contact, it ignited like gasoline."
Your Highness—" The flames burned, casting Loki's shadow on the ground, and behind Loki, the guard of the Great Rune Tower whispered, "What happened here must be reported to Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven." ”"It's uncertain about the strength of this demon, but it is clear that it is not something we can deal with to pull a city into a nightmare so easily.""
It retreated."
Loki replied expressionlessly, "It left on its own initiative, maybe it sensed threatened...""
You stay here and report to the Great Rune Tower, Master, and I'll take a team of wizards into the mountains and search in the direction it left.""
I don't doubt your magical powers, Your Highness."
The old man dissuaded, "But I think you should wait until Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven makes a decision before acting...
Asgard has lost one prince, and we cannot afford to lose another. ”"Time waits for no one."
Loki was just using Niflheim as a trick to solve his own problems.But after actually coming here, he realized that the problem was much more serious than he thought.Loki does have a grudge against Odin, but he also considers Asgard his home.If he wants to prove that he is better suited to be king than his brother, he must do his duty, and this is what he did to make a deal with Laufey in the first place.Now seeing this in Niflheim, if Loki escapes again...
He no longer has to fight for the throne of king."
Ugh."
The rune guard behind him also sighed, and the old man with runes on his face looked at the mountains shrouded in darkness, and he said with concern: "If only Prince Thor were here, his thunder power has a strong restraint against these evil spirits. ”Loki's expression changed slightly.He knew that these loyal rune guards, who never intervened in politics, were just unintentional.But that made him very uncomfortable.It's Thor again...
It's him who is standing here to protect the people, it's Loki...
Obviously, his brother has given up his responsibility and mission to his hometown, but everyone still misses him.But...
Is it destined that he will not be able to get rid of his brother's shadow for the rest of his life?"
Go and inform the queen mother."
Loki grabbed the Eternal Spear, and he said coldly, "I'm leaving!"
”With that, His Royal Highness rushed into the mountains below the city with a team of rune guards.Behind him, the city's flames burned.The flames are blazing.—————————— in the Frozen Mist Forest, the deepest part of Niflheim, the Magician's Miss Zatana is busy around the Dream Gate.Her brow furrowed, and she was neatly laying out a large charm on the ground.Around her body, dreams and the present were merging.The roots of the nightmare tree, which was supposed to be rooted in the dream, had pierced the barrier between the two worlds, taking root in reality, pulling the cold forest into a dream that was as dark red as ashes.The distinction between the present and the dream is blurred here, turning it into a labyrinth that changes over time.Part unreal, part real.The two intertwine in a fantastical way, leaving Zatanna a little at a loss."
It's growing too fast."
Miss Magician stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead.She looked back at the Nightmare Tree behind her, and in just a few days, the Nightmare Tree had far surpassed the one in her dream world.It becomes wide and hideous.The foliageless branches are like a fluffy and loose crown of the firmament, just a tree, but like a grove.Those staggered branches cover everything around it.On the branches, those dark red charms were shining, like lights that went on and off, lighting up the slippery light from the branches, but the scene was not beautiful.Only horror.Indescribable horror."
I have to close this door."
Zatanna looked at the vine-wrapped ring curtain of light, the door to the dream, which was used to connect the dream to hers.Let the power of nightmares flow in two directions.In the first few days, the door was still free to close.But today, after a materialized nightmare destroyed a city in Niflheim, that door can't be closed.It is maintained in an active opening posture, and in Zatanna's dream world, a steady stream of nightmares are infused here, allowing the evil spirits born in the nightmare to receive sufficient "nutrients".Nightmares are about to be born.After absorbing the horrors of a city, it has to transform from a symbolic existence to a real being...
It's like a human birth.In the depths of the Land of Mist, near Asgard's Hades, an evil spirit that feeds on fear is about to revivelate.Zatanna wasn't worried about the nightmare.That's her plan...
Leaving the Nightmare on Asgardian soil and severing its connection to the Dream Dimension when it is born, the newly born Nightmare will become weak without the Nightmare Dimension's power supply.There is a high chance that it will be defeated and sealed by the rune wizards of Asgard.The plan went well.But now, the final step is coming, and with it unexpected problems come with it.The nightmare seemed to have insight into Zatana's thoughts.It uses the power of the Nightmare Dimension to forcibly open and maintain the Dream Gate.If Zatana can't close the door before it is born, then her and Merlin's dream world will be the first to be occupied by nightmares.Nightmares aren't stupid either...
Compared to the large number of rune wizards in Asgard, the dream world guarded by only Zatana alone is obviously a better persimmon.There are risks associated with any plan.Now, it's Zatanna's turn to face the risks of her plans."
Fortunately, I prepared in advance."
Miss Magician took a few steps back, and she pulled out a few strange old marks from her waist and dropped them on the black-glowing charm at her feet.In the anxious and strange chanting of her characteristic anti-language magic, dreameaters with no specific entity like insects were summoned from the lightless sea.The moment these dream-feeding spirits appeared, they were summoned to pounce on the doors that connected the two dreams.The twisted creatures began to use their razor-sharp mouthparts to draw the power of the door."
A few more!"
Zatanna threw out a few more old seals, and more Dream Eaters were summoned like a dense swarm of bees.They let out strange chirps and lay on the vines that bound the Dream Gate.It's like a swarm of locusts.The power of the nightmare was swallowed up, and the open dream door was rippling with a halo of water ripples on its surface, and its magical structure was becoming loose.And the spells on the vines that resemble the door frames are getting darker and darker.Those spells are about to be extinguished.A door that can be opened from both sides, and now the lock on this side is about to be broken.All Zatana had to do was go back to her side and smash the lock on the door and the door would close permanently.It's not difficult at all.Provided that no one disturbs you.Just as Zatana stepped towards the door of the dream, the neighing of the warhorse suddenly sounded in the area behind her where dreams and reality were intertwined.Along with the neighing of the war horse, there was a gloomy and slippery voice like a snake."
Where are you going?
Little sister. ”Zatana turned around and saw that beneath the frantically swaying branches of the Nightmare Tree, the surging black gas was condensing into a strange figure.A black war horse with a divine steed is looking up and neighing.Its eyes were red, there was not a trace of stray hair on its body, its fluttering mane was like swaying black smoke, its hooves and neck were adorned with elaborate saddles, and its head was covered with iron armor.It has dark red flames burning on its four hooves.Nightmaremon...
This is not the kind of hybrid that the lords of hell have domesticated, nor is it a fantasy creature like Yeqi, who has been degraded for generations in the present world.It is an authentic nightmare beast.Only born in nightmares, strange creatures that can walk on dreams.And on the back of the mighty nightmare beast, sat an even stranger one.It wore a tattered green robe that split into four petals underneath it, like a special skirt.Its body was thin and pale, and just by looking at it, one could feel an ethereal ethereal and distorted, and the deepest depravity.It has an emaciated face, like a man who is extremely malnourished and severely addicted to the Internet, with dark red eyes and heavy dark circles.It also has a sharp face, like one of those bad devils, and like some kind of special devil.It has sharp ears, an exaggerated hawk nose, and a slear, messy head of black hair.It's like a black grease on the head, beating and shining.It held a staff that resembled an elongated bronze key.Or called, war spears?

Anyway, this guy was riding behind the Nightmare Beast, looking at Zatana with a critical gaze."
Hmm, 9 points for face, perfect score for figure, and high occult attainments."
The guy glanced at the Dream Eaters who had been summoned to lie on the vines and devour nightmares.It looked up at Zatanna, and it said, "It's a pity...
The soul is no longer pure. ”"I'm a little bit of a cleanliness person, and I don't like things that other people have used..."
It raised its hand, and the whole land where reality and dream merged, and in those nightmarish pale light, clumps of black mud were called out.In the Nightmare's manipulation, they transform into twisted black-armored knights, surrounding Zatanna from all directions."
Countless eras, countless eternities.""
The Sandman has stopped me from devouring the delicious world time and time again.""
In every era, there have been warriors who have been chosen by him to fight against me, but what is wrong with this era?"
The Nightmare Juggernaut riding behind the Nightmare Beast clawed clawed claw, tilting its head to look at Zatana in front of it.It says, "Is the Sandman drinking too much?"
Or are you crazy?
Why did he choose you against me?
”"Do you think you have a chance of winning?"
Zatanna ignored the Nightmare's provocation and looked around warily.She held a ball of magic in her hand, but before she could throw it, a sharp pain came from her abdomen.The sound of breaking glass rang out in Zatanna's ears, and Zatanna herself was impaled from behind by a Nightmare Knight who appeared silently, and she was thrown around and slammed to the ground.The pain brought her to wake up from her dreams...
She looked back and saw that the Dream Gate had not been weakened in the slightest, and she had not summoned any Dream Eaters at all.It's all a nightmare.A nightmare that keeps on spinning."
Pop" Zatanna's whole person was grabbed by the neck by the nightmare that emerged from the black fog and lifted her in the air.The Nightmare Juggernaut said cruelly and lightly in a prey-playing tone, "Guess what, Zatana.
Zatara, how many times have you been killed?
”"Guess what, Zatana, poor child, how many more times can you survive the nightmare of reincarnation?""
One last guess...""
Will someone come to your rescue before you break down completely?"
