Nightmare, this is a lucky guy.It is also one of the countless disasters that the Elders of the Universe have set off on Earth before.Realizing Merlin's strange disappearance, Nightmare decided that it was time to reclaim the Nightmare Dimension, and single-handedly broke into Merlin and Zatanna's dream world.The Nightmare had gathered fear around the world, and it had already made itself strong, and it thought that without Merlin's hindrance, its own action to reclaim the Nightmare Dimension would be sure to be nine out of ten.But I didn't expect that Merlin's little lover Zatana would be so difficult.The mad woman had dragged on the battle for a long time with the help of the power of the ultraviolet lamp, and she was no match for Nightmare.But it is also very difficult for a fear-fed nightmare to defeat the forces that also come from the spectrum of emotions.After realizing that the cunning Merlin had been prepared, Nightmare realized that the situation was not good, and if it dragged on like this, it would probably fall into a worse situation, so Nightmare decisively withdrew from the dream world.Its decisiveness and prudence brought it good luck.Thanos is dead, Serpent is dead, and the lords of hell are dead.The entire dimension of hell and the real world are in chaos.Thanos snapped his fingers, wiping out half of Earth's life, making the nightmare's sucking fear half less in an instant.Fortunately, it left early, otherwise it would have died in the dream world.The turbulent changes on the battlefield made Nightmare feel that something was wrong, and although it had picked up a life, it would definitely not let it go even if Merlin and his concubine, who had now occupied an absolute advantage.Merlin and Zatana are "hired" by the mysterious Sandman to eradicate the nightmare in this era, which is a pact that must be completed.In order to protect itself, the nightmare must make another plan."
Bell" is in the mysterious dream dimension, in a deep hidden corner, in an abandoned hall where the dark aura envelops everything.Nightmare was hammer in hand, forging something in the strange green flames.Its form was thin and distorted, not normal, the darkness on the ground almost bordering its body, and in the nightmare thrashing motion, there was a burst of sparks.From time to time, it raised its hand and threw clumps of green energy into the strangely colored flames, making the forged flames rise even hotter.The flame is green and ominous.It burned with a strange smell, like the trembling breath of a life captive by fear, and in the flames there were one distorted human face after another, hissing.This is the fire of fear.The collected fear can be used as firewood to infuse the extraordinary power into the creation that is about to be forged, making it a dark artifact unimaginable to ordinary people.Of course, it is impossible for a nightmare to be fueled by the fear it has gathered.It still needs to preserve these powers for its own preservation.So where do these burning fears come from?
The emaciated and twisted nightmare raised its hand, letting the hammer glow of purple light fall.It hit the iron felt, and in the middle of the impact, there was a purple arc of electric arc that flickered, and the fleeting arc lit up the dark hall behind the nightmare.It's like lightning in the night."
Hehe, big snake brother, the fear you've gathered is really pure."
Nightmare makes a cameo appearance as a blacksmith and lets out a sneaky laugh, which is quite complacent.It was indeed lucky.After hiding back in his hiding place, he happened to see the scene of the great snake being overturned by the Eternal Rune King.Like it, the Great Serpent is an evil god who draws on the fears of all things to strengthen himself, and the Great Snake is defeated by Thor and sealed away in eternal time.Although the serpent didn't really die because of Asgard's existence, it did fail.Even the power of fear that Heavenly Father had gathered with fear was re-dispersed on Earth, and those fears should have dissipated and returned to the emotional spectrum in the form of energy.But the quick-eyed nightmare drew that power back to its side before fear died.It had absorbed the terrifying power that the serpent had gathered, quickly restored itself to its full strength, and the rest of it, with which the Nightmare intended to forge something.It can also carry fear, and can collect an infinite amount of fear artifacts.Nightmare's plan is wonderful.Although the battle for the kings of hell was interrupted by the tragic deaths of the lords of hell, it seems that Merlin, the commander of the sons of hell, has become the king of hell for now, but that doesn't mean that it is a sure thing.The battle for the kings of hell isn't over yet.Its rules are still in force.Whoever can absorb the most fear will be able to sit on the throne of Satan and become the king of hell, ruling the entire dimension of hell.That's the only way for Nightmare to survive!
It must forge an artifact of fear for itself before Merlin ascends to the throne of the King of Hell, and then use the artifact to quickly contain the horrors of the earth in order to sit on the throne of Satan.As long as it can take advantage of the loophole in this rule and become the king of hell, then Merlin will not be able to defeat it again, no matter how powerful he is!
Merlin is the Lord of Hell, so what is the reason why the Lord of Hell stabbed his weapon at the King of Hell?
At that time, Merlin will not only not be able to harm it, but will also need to obey the orders of the Nightmare, the King of Hell!
Merlin will be his most loyal dogleg!
Ah, it's exciting to think about."
Hey, hey, hey" Nightmare let out a shrill laugh as it hammered its artifact, and it seemed to have seen a wonderful future where it had mastered everything.If you can become the king of hell, control the entire hell, and then regain the power of the nightmare dimension, then you have the capital to fight the Sanddemon and the Endless Family head-on.If all goes well, it may only take a few years for it to take the Sandman's place.It will become a member of the endless family that is immortal and controls all things."
Hey," Nightmare let out a foolish laugh.Now the situation is in its favor.Merlin doesn't know what's crazy, he's been gathering the world's heroes lately, gathering in New Asgard and the weird continent of Cybertron, and he doesn't know what they're doing.It seems to be preparing for war.Nightmare hears that the heroes are going to follow Merlin against the so-called "outer gods"."
What kind of outer gods?
It's all a lie. ”Nightmare snorted, and said disdainfully, "It must be some damn conspiracy that ravens are playing again, what a bunch of deceitful bastards, but this is exactly what I want, let them be busy, the busier the better!"
”Another sound of steel echoed through the dimly lit hall.Where the hammer and felt reshaped from the serpent's shattered weapons collided, the forged, melted, magma-like aura of substantial fear energy had been molded into an ambiguous entity.In the burning flames of fear, the iron ring-like thing about to be forged radiated heat and twisted energy.Nightmare lifted it up with large iron tongs and placed it in front of his eyes to observe it carefully.It glowed like lava in the dim green glow of the fire, and although it had not yet been forged, a human face had already appeared on the outer edge of the crown-like creation.If you look closely, the face of the person is quite similar to the big snake.This is also normal, the material for forging this fear crown originally originated from the fear collected by the great snake, and it also contained the great snake's understanding of the power of fear, and the final product mixed with some characteristics belonging to the great snake is also deserved."
It's almost done."
Nightmare blew the fire burning on the surface of the Dread Crown, and it put the thing back on the felt and continued to thrash hard.Probably because he was in a good mood, this twisted evil god actually hummed a song.What was supposed to be a very gentle lullaby was hummed out by this guy in a weird tone, adding a touch of gloomy and sneaky feeling."
The craftsmanship is good."
A voice sounded beside Nightmare, and as he watched Nightmare forge the Dread Crown, he complimented, "I didn't expect you to have this hand in addition to scaring children in nightmares." ”"Of course."
Nightmare proudly straightened up its emaciated chest, and said with a big grin, "Although I don't know how to forge myself, the serpent does, it's the evil god of Asgard, and every man in that hellish place is a good blacksmith, and I have learned this from the power it has left." ”"Don't look at it now, let me tell you, once it is forged, it will definitely be very, very beautiful, with both majesty and divine power.""
Hehe, this is the crown of the King of Hell, how can it be an ordinary mortal."
Nightmare's boasting made the voice in the darkness chuckle.He looked at the Crown of Dread, which was constantly being beaten by nightmares, and after a moment, he said, "But only the divine power of the great serpent has been rubbed into it, so that the power of this thing is at most close to the power of the Almighty Heavenly Father, and for the King of Hell, this is not enough." ”"Why don't you add some other ingredients?""
Huh?"
The suggestion made Nightmare pause for a moment, and it stopped forging and rubbed its chin with its fingers, as if it was pondering the suggestion.After a moment, the nightmare scratched its head a little irritably, and it said, "This idea is not bad, indeed, if it is the king of hell, it is not enough to have a heavenly father, and it is indeed great to add something to make it even more powerful." ”"But the question is, where do I get more ingredients?""
Easy!"
The voice said to Nightmare slowly, "Since it is the Crown of Fear, it must have something to do with fear, since this kind of artifact has already added the divine power of an evil god, it is better to add another evil god who can control fear." ”"You see, in this case, isn't 1+1 greater than 2?""
What do you mean?"
asked Nightmare, blankly."
I mean—" Merlin walked out of the darkness, the hexagonal crystal on his forehead glittering, the seven deadly sins in their full form pushing the power of vanity to the extreme.Let his every word sound in the depths of the nightmare's consciousness.On his right hand, there is also the Re-decorated Infinity Gauntlet, which was borrowed from Doom.The Mind Gem emitted a leisurely light, and the crimson arc of the Reality Gem wrapped around the Infinity Gauntlet, stacked in pairs, allowing the Vanity King's mind manipulation to be elevated to a terrifying level.It's bootstrapping.It's also a temptation.Yes is a suggestion.It's also a push.Like a true best friend, he patted the dazed Nightmare on the shoulder, and the Soul Stone shone brightly as the Infinity Gauntlet touched the Nightmare's shoulder.The halo of light spread out of the nightmare body like a dazzling lamp.Merlin glanced at the Crown of Dread that had been placed on the iron felt, and said softly, "I mean, aren't you just another evil god who has mastered fear?"
If your power joins it, then this crown of fear will inevitably become a peerless treasure!
”"It is fully worthy of the king of hell, and even the same as the seat of Satan, and from now on, it will become the symbol of the king of hell...
What a good thing, why don't you sacrifice a little?
”There was a struggle in the nightmare's black eyes, and his instinctive consciousness was stimulating him to wake up quickly.But the external spiritual guidance is so domineering and domineering, and under the manipulation of Merlin, it turns into a silent spring rain that moistens things, and scatters it into the barren mind of nightmares when it is unknowable.Slowly take root and sprout.By the time it realizes that something is wrong, it can't resist."
I—" Nightmare hesitated, placing its hand on the scorching crown, and the moment it made contact, its fingers turned into a dark green mist, swallowed by the greedy crown of fear.The creature was like a roaring and hungry beast, constantly gulping down the nightmare spirit body in the burning flames of green dread.The pain was like a scorching pinprick in the nightmare's dazed consciousness.A moment later, the Nightmare awoke suddenly, and it looked left and right, realizing that half of its small body had been engulfed by the Crown of Fear."
Ah!!
hThe twisted creature let out a woman-like scream.It waved its arms, trying to pull itself out of the Dread Crown's engulfment, but it couldn't, the Dread Crown was forged to have a power far beyond Nightmare and the Great Serpent to devour fear.It was now a perfect display of its power, and its devouring power at fear made it impossible for an evil god like Nightmare to resist."
Alas...
Still a little bit. ”Behind the nightmare, Merlin sighed regretfully at the sight of the evil god awakened from his spiritual guidance, and he reached out and took the Raven Book from his waist and turned to the page of the unfinished Dread Charm.He flicked his fingers, the quill fell into his hand, and he didn't need any starry ink.Raven stabbed his quill into Nightmare's increasingly thin body, as if it had been dipped in ink, and ignored the Nightmare's wail, as if in the midst of a terrible accompaniment, he leisurely completed the fear charm on the Raven's Book.His handwriting was elegant, and the perfect flower-style runes were quickly written, and a green light lit up on the page as the last rune fell.Merlin looked at the spell repeatedly to make sure there were no mistakes, nodded in satisfaction, placed the Raven Book back on his waist, and reached for the hammer that Nightmare had set aside.The "bell" thrashed its arms like a blacksmith, and a purple arc of electricity erupted from the burning crown of fear, and the howl of a nightmare swallowed into it.The "bell" fell with another sound.Nightmare still failed to complete the forging of the Crown of Dread, and he was really an unqualified giver, so this gift to the King of Hell had to be completed by Merlin, the uncrowned King of Hell.()
