Chapter 1183 - 476: Changes (Part 2)
Alka smiled and chatted with familiar faces around him for a few moments, then left the basement and returned to their residence in the City of Return.
The building was a four-story tall and wide structure, accompanied by a huge courtyard. It seemed particularly unique in style, simple yet grand.
A small manor in the city.
After Alka and the others pushed the door open, they walked in and saw that Pororo and the others were already back in the large living room on the first floor.
Matilda saw Chadite and the rest coming in, and she smiled as she came over to hug them.
Alka and the others directly entered the living room, throwing themselves heavily onto the sofa.
Jason, sitting on the other end of the sofa, looked at Alka.
"Congratulations on reaching the Sixth Stage. The speed of your meditation is getting faster and faster, what’s going on?"
Jason had just achieved perfection in the Fifth Stage a while ago, needing a little bit more time, about over a month, before advancing to the Sixth Stage.
Bear in mind, with his fusion and sharing with Ulu Liwus, his advancement speed was already quite fast.
But compared to Alka, he was always a bit slower. There was a period when he was slightly faster than Alka, but Alka’s speed inexplicably increased later.
Upon hearing this, even Alka couldn’t help but rub his temples.
"You seem to have forgotten I have another identity."
"But you were always the King of the Dream Realm before, why has it gotten faster now?"
"Then guess how big my kingdom is now?"
Upon hearing this, Jason suddenly realized.
Mainly, Alka’s Dream Realm was continually under construction and expansion, almost making him forget that Alka’s Dream Realm has been rapidly developing and building till now.
Indeed, a few years ago, Alka had begun the Dream Realm’s expansion, and it still hadn’t been completed yet.
The scale of expansion was enormous.
But at least his Dream Realm has already successfully interfaced completely with the World Scar region.
This is also why his strength increased this time, enabling the Mouth of Devouring to exert such enormous power.
He even managed to manipulate large quantities of abyssal aura to attack him, forcing him to deploy his trump card, the Great Elder, for help. It’s because not only the Mouth of Devouring but also the abyssal rifts found some strange spots.
All the demons could feel that every day, every second, their power was gradually weakening at an imperceptible speed.
Moreover, that huge rift entrance could be clearly seen shrinking, at least smaller than it was two years ago.
Through the investigation by these demons, it was very easy to realize that in the corresponding Dream World of the invaded region, a vast kingdom had emerged.
Keep in mind that they previously attempted to prevent the King of Dreams from having any influence over them. The Mouth of Devouring was designed for specific targeting back then.
Preventing the corresponding Dream Realm from effectively establishing a kingdom to curb the chaos spread from the World Scar.
They even knew of some plans by the Dream Realm Kings, intending to make it impossible for this region to establish a Dream Realm kingdom. And those Dream Realm Kings naturally tried to find a way to establish a capital in this region.
The Mouth of Devouring repeatedly sabotaged these Dream Realm Kings’ plans.
Honestly, to these dreamlike beings, the convenience and efficiency with which the Mouth of Devouring operates in the real world makes it seem even more like a part of the local reality.
Unfortunately, for this world, the barrier between the spiritual Dream World and the Real World is incredibly thick.
Even if it was already shattered, the reformation remained very stable.
Just occasionally, there might be weak spots.
There are pros and cons naturally.
And now a kingdom is connected to the World Scar, a place where a Dream Realm had not appeared for hundreds or even thousands of years.
It naturally raises issues.
And the root cause of these issues is not hard to guess, as the kingdom’s emergence aligns with Alka’s appearance here.
Furthermore, Alka is a Dream Realm King with a physical body in the real world.
Anyone who’s not foolish knows this is definitely Alka’s doing.
So now, it’s not just the Mouth of Devouring that wants to eliminate Alka. The Mouth of Devouring is just the most enthusiastic and apparent.
Another demon of equal status to the Mouth of Devouring is also targeting Alka.
Even the Demon Lord is doing the same.
Including the abyssal aura that has started to reject Alka because Alka’s Dream Realm continuously expels those abyssal auras that do not belong to them.
It’s a prolonged battle.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while.
Juanlu placed the prepared snacks on the table, then sat beside them, looking at Jason and the others, and asked, "How was the treasure hunt this time?"
"Of course, it went well. I must tell you all about our experience this time."
With that, Jason immediately felt energized, standing up with an excited expression.
Ulu Liwus was also excitedly adding supplements next to him.
This treasure hunting team consisted of Jason, Ulu Liwus, Matilda, Pororo, and Simon.
The total duration was nearly 9 months, taking over half a year, almost a year of time.
Naturally, this was also due to the distance of their destination from here.
But the harvest was no problem—a suitable Scepter Level treasure.
Akka and the others sat around, listening to the vivid storytelling from Jason and the others, even Simon occasionally chiming in to add some details.
