Although the Power Tree currently doesn’t have much use, this is only because there are not many powers activated in the Wilderness of Dreams.
It acts like a central processing unit, able to coordinate other components formed by powers within the system.
As the number of active powers increases, the role of the Power Tree, acting as the CPU, naturally becomes more and more significant.
Angel himself is quite pleased to have acquired the Power Tree, as it is almost certain that the Power Tree is the most central power within the main body of the Nightmare Domain.
Angel’s persistence in focusing on this core power is due to issues of control.
In the future, the Wilderness of Dreams will definitely open up to the outside world. At that point, the number of those coveting it will surely not be few. Only by gaining control of the core power can one truly take charge of the Wilderness of Dreams.
Fortunately, he weathered the storm of the terrible repercussions that came with the Scroll of Luck and ultimately succeeded in obtaining the Power Tree.
After Angel acquired the Power Tree, the next step is to find a way to expand its powers.
Angel feels that his body hasn’t reached its capacity limit for holding powers and should be able to accommodate new ones. However, considering his current physical condition in the real world, Angel has chosen not to integrate any more powers for the time being, opting to wait for a future opportunity.
For now, since Angel is not integrating new powers, the task falls on someone else. After all, there are so many powers within the main body of the Nightmare Domain that even if he were to become a legendary wizard, he likely wouldn’t be able to integrate them all.
The significance of the Wilderness of Dreams goes without saying, so the selection of individuals capable of integrating these powers must be made with extreme caution. In Angel’s mind, only Sanders and Freud are qualified to undertake this responsibility at the moment.
Sanders is a pioneer in the creation of the Nightmare Domain. His control over it is undoubtedly greater than Angel’s, so having him integrate the powers would be more than ideal.
As for Freud, he is essentially the proposer of the Wilderness of Dreams. He practices dream-related magic and has also sworn the Oath of Luo to Angel, so Angel finds him trustworthy.
In a situation like that of Angel’s brother, while Angel doesn’t mind him integrating powers, the fact remains that his brother’s strength is not particularly high, and his practice has nothing to do with the Nightmare Domain or the Dream Realm.
In summary, it really boils down to just Sanders and Freud.
So, after his own integration, Angel plans to let Sanders integrate new powers.
Before the process of integration, they had already agreed that if the Scroll of Luck were effective, Angel would opt for integrating core powers, while Sanders would choose powers related to energy manipulation.
As long as they could bring their real-world abilities into the Wilderness of Dreams, many objectives could be achieved.
For instance, Angel’s most desired Infinite Alchemy; and also, to a considerable extent, the capability to fend off external enemies. Previously, those enemies were creatures from the Wilderness of Dreams, but now also include Sinful Monsters.
Besides, Angel has many other ideas, like enabling nature wizards to improve the environment of the Wilderness of Dreams. Such endeavors, which could only be accomplished through specialized powers before, could now also be managed through a wizard’s capabilities.
Therefore, acquiring the power to control energy is imperative.
Because obtaining powers from the Nightmare Domain’s core is entirely random, similar to a lottery with no guaranteed winnings, Sanders also plans to use the Scroll of Luck to increase the chances of successful integration during this process.
Using the Dream Conch, Angel re-projected another Scroll of Luck into the Wilderness of Dreams, subsequently moving on to the main topic.
The Scroll of Luck was still in Angel’s hand, and the user, as before, would be him.
Since Sanders couldn’t separate powers from the Nightmare Domain’s core by himself, Angel still needed to facilitate the dissolution of the Nightmare Domain’s core to assist Sanders in his integration. Naturally, the person using the Scroll of Luck would still be Angel.
Upon the second use of the Scroll of Luck, Angel was already well-versed. The moment he felt that he had entered the “lucky moment,” he immediately chanted the required thoughts in his mind, then used the green rune to dissolve the core of the Nightmare Domain.
The efficacy of the Scroll of Luck can only be maintained for a couple of seconds. When the moment of fortune receded from his body, a speck of light opportunistically detached from the glowing sphere.
This speck signified a new power that was acquired through this “lottery.”
Angel swiftly captured the speck of light to prevent it from rebounding into the Wilderness of Dreams. Without hesitation, he used “integration,” and the speck, along with the green rune, were infused into Sanders’s body.
Although Sanders had been forewarned by Angel that integrating a new power would feel disorienting, he still found himself unprepared for the rush of information that flooded into his mental space, causing him to momentarily lose his footing.
Fortunately, Sanders had already been sitting on the ground to avoid any awkward stumbles.
Though Sanders felt a bit dizzy, he wasn’t as uncomfortable as Angel had been previously. Therefore, he kept his eyes closed the entire time, silently digesting the torrent of information flooding into his mind.
Angel stood aside, observing Sanders’s unwavering composure. Reflecting on his own previous experience — rolling on the ground while screaming — Angel felt an impulse to face-palm.
Perhaps Sanders was just suppressing his discomfort, and his real-world body had already reached its limits? Angel, with a slightly malicious sense of hope, decided to return to reality to see for himself.
However, upon arriving back in reality, Angel remembered something Sanders had mentioned: his physical body in the real world was in a lamentable state. Thus, Angel was met with a sensation of pain coursing throughout his body.
Fortunately, Sanders had previously healed his physical body, so the pain wasn’t unbearable.
Enduring the pain, Angel glanced over at Sanders and found him sitting across on a sofa, fully dressed in a gentleman’s attire, his hair impeccably groomed. Sanders was sitting with his eyes closed, maintaining an elegant posture even in repose.
Angel’s malevolent hopes were dashed. Enduring the physical discomfort, he reentered the Wilderness of Dreams.
The process of power integration generally takes a long time. The shortest instance of Angel integrating powers took more than ten hours. Therefore, it’s unlikely that Sanders would awaken in a short period.
Seizing this opportunity, Angel decides to delve deeper into the Power Tree.
Previously, he had only glanced superficially at the functionalities of the Power Tree. In reality, each power within the tree contains extensive details and sub-functions.
Angel turns his focus to the “Sin Fog” power, examining it more carefully.
As time passes, approximately three hours later, Angel has only managed to skim through the basic information about Sin Fog. The finer details are left unexplored, which shows how massive the scope of a single power can be.
Even so, just from the general information, Angel has gained a lot of insights.
Regrettably, the majority of these insights are not good news.
Before, Angel thought that “Sin Fog” referred only to that dark mist. The truth, however, is not so simple. While the dark mist is indeed Sin Fog, it is only one manifestation of it.
The powers in the Wilderness of Dreams, although adhering to “pseudo” laws, still embody certain characteristics of genuine laws. For instance, most powers are conceptual and lack physical form.
Sin Fog is the same.
The dark mist can be considered Sin Fog, but Sin Fog can’t solely refer to the dark mist. In addition to the dark mist, Sin Fog can manifest in many other forms, such as gray mist, red mist, and blue mist.
In other words, the dark mist they previously encountered is just one form of Sin Fog.
It’s highly probable that other manifestations of Sin Fog will appear elsewhere.
Even within Initial Heart City, Sin Fog might emerge.
For the residents of the Dream Realm within Initial Heart City, this is undoubtedly bad news.
After receiving this information, Angel is even more eager for Sanders’ newly acquired power to be related to energy manipulation. Otherwise, if Sinful Monsters infiltrate Initial Heart City, it would spell cataclysmic disaster.
After reading about Sin Fog, the only somewhat comforting piece of information is that although Angel cannot revoke the power of Sin Fog, he can still use it to a limited extent through the Power Tree.
For example, he can control Sinful Monsters.
Although Angel knew he had the ability to control Sinful Monsters, he didn’t expect the experience of doing so to feel like this——
