Roy looked so insignificant in this starry sky. Just as he was looking around, Trag’Oul’s voice sounded again.

“Welcome to my dream, Demon King Osiris!”

With this voice, among the distant stars, hundreds of bright stars could be seen shining at the same time. If these shining stars were connected with each other, one would find that they formed a constellation, an enormous constellation that meandered like a long dragon!

“Dream? Are all you world-soul titans’ dreams like this?” Roy clicked his tongue and sighed. “To be honest, although I can fly into space and out of the world now, I’ve never done it before. I have to thank you for letting me experience it… It’s just that your dream is a little distorted compared to true space. This spatial scale isn’t right at all!”

Roy pointed at the huge sun beside him and the planet under his feet. “To be able to see such a big sun means that the position of the planet is very close to the sun. In that case, this planet should have long burned into a big fireball… It seems like you haven’t really left the planet and gone out of the world to observe. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have made this mistake!”

Roy thought, It seems like TragOul hasn’t fully matured as a world-soul titan.

After hearing what Roy said, Trag’Oul didn’t say anything. But the next second, the huge sun was pulled far away. It seemed like Trag’Oul was correcting his mistake, or rather, he was adjusting his cognition of the outside world…

This was his dream. Everything Roy saw here stemmed from Trag’Oul’s cognition…

“Okay. Although I don’t know what method you used to pull me into your dream, what are you going to do next?” Roy asked curiously. “Attack me?”

“You’ve guessed right!” Trag’Oul’s voice rang out. At the same time, the shining dragon-shaped constellation in the distance glowed, and an enormous dragon-shaped phantom began to appear with the constellation as the foundation. It had a body that spread tens of thousands of kilometers, and the body twisted and entangled together to form a wriggling appearance.

The strange-looking dragon head slowly rose. The dragon head was covered by countless tentacles, making it impossible to see Trag’Oul’s appearance clearly. Only his eyes, hidden in the tentacles, began to shine.

The next second, countless stars in the distance turned into sharp spears and shot at Roy.

Roy frowned. He found that he couldn’t dodge this large-scale attack, so he could only condense a black ice wall in front of him, intending to block the attacks of these starlight spears. But when he tried to use his magic power to condense an ice wall, he found that he couldn’t create it at all!

With this delay, the rapidly flying starlight spears pierced through Roy’s body!

The intense pain caused Roy’s face to distort. He looked at his body and found that the densely-packed holes were slowly healing.

Illusion? Tm not actually injured? Roy pondered. But this pain is real. Ifits really an illusion, why didn’t I wake up from the stimulation?

Moreover, I couldn’t use mypowerjust now. What’s going on?

Roy thought that there must be some strange rules in Trag’Oul’s peculiar dream.

But Trag’Oul obviously wouldn’t explain anything to Roy, his opponent. The villains in movies who kept talking to the main character and showing off their abilities wouldn’t appear here. Trag’Oul only condensed countless starlight spears and shot them at Roy from afar. Every attack pierced countless holes in his demon body, causing him immense pain, but these injuries would always slowly recover.

Roy didn’t wait for death. He tried switching to other powers to block Trag’Oul’s attacks, but without exception, he failed. He couldn’t use any of his mutated elemental powers here.

After experimenting for a while, he found that he could still use pure elemental power!

Whats going on? Roy frowned. Considering what happened with the sun being pulled awayjust now, could it be that all powers beyond TragOul’s cognition can’t materialize in this dream?

You’ll know when you try. Roy thought about it. After enduring another round of Trag’Oul’s attacks, he suddenly said to him, “Do you know? The light of a star often takes a long time to reach a planet because the distance between them is very far, but the speed of light is fixed!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the starlight spears suddenly stopped!

To be precise, they didn’t stop but became too slow. They shot over from

Trag’Oul’s position in the distance. Although they were flying forward, they were still far from reaching Roy.

Seeing this, he was shocked and finally understood. “Trag’Oul! You’re in your cradle, so your cognition of the universe comes from your imagination, right?”

Trag’Oul didn’t deny it. “That’s right. In this dream, anything beyond my cognition cannot materialize. But at the same time, if you say something, it can change my cognition!”

“Can words change all things?” Roy asked curiously.

“No, only truths!” Trag’Oul said. “If you want to spout nonsense, then don’t bother trying to be clever!”

Roy was stunned for a moment before laughing. “Ha, so you’re actually obtaining ‘knowledge’ from me? Then, how do you judge that this ‘knowledge’ is correct?”

“Talent!” Trag’Oul replied simply. “This is the talent of world-soul titans! We can sense ‘truth’!”

Are world-soul titans that awesome? Roy was a little stunned. He understood. It meant that if someone said something correct that conformed to the rules of the world, Trag’Oul would be able to obtain ‘knowledge’ about the rules of this part of the world.

Was this a good thing for Roy? No, it wasn’t!

He tried to condense a fireball, a simple elemental fireball, and then threw it at Trag’Oul. As a result, he saw the fireball flying forward, but it was impossible to reach where Trag’Oul was. Because in his sentence just now, after Trag’Oul recognized the concepts of ‘light speed’ and ‘planet distance’, it meant that his entire dream world had changed. This change was not only for him but also for Roy. The distance between him and Roy was too far, and the starlight spears couldn’t hit Roy in a short time. Similarly, no attack from Roy could hit Trag’Oul!

Unless Trag’Oul took the initiative to close the distance…

But Roy could also tell that Trag’Oul had a judgment of his own strength. He might have felt that he wasn’t Roy’s match, so he didn’t seek to fight him at close range. In fact, Roy’s injuries and recovery ability were only out of his judgment and cognition of Roy.

He felt that his strength might not be as good as Roy’s, so the starlight spears had injured Roy but didn’t kill him. At the same time, he knew that demons had astonishing recovery abilities, so Roy’s injuries could also recover. But Trag’Oul might not have a clear understanding of this recovery ability, so it was much slower.

Clearly, Trag’Oul should be a ‘deformed child’! It was because he was a world-soul titan born in an artificial world. A world-soul titan born like this was definitely different from ordinary world-soul titans! This was because the rules of an artificial world were different from those of a natural world!

The power of a world-soul titan came from the world itself, but Inarius and Lilith had created Sanctuary with the Worldstone. They had definitely modified the rules of Sanctuary. Not to mention anything else, there were so many nephalem here.

Even if angels and demons combined, it was very difficult for them to give birth to offspring. This had long been proven in other worlds. In order to create offspring, Inarius and Lilith must have made relevant modifications, which was why they could give birth to children. Not only them, but even the angels and demons who had hidden in Sanctuary together also gave birth to offspring under these rules.

The children of Inarius and Lilith, as well as the children of other angels and demons, these descendants altogether were the reason why the nephalem truly became a race.

Moreover, these modified rules could continue to be adjusted. In order to suppress the power of the nephalem, Inarius had adjusted the frequency of the Worldstone, and the nephalem had become much weaker.

It was precisely because of these strange rules that it was difficult for world-soul titans like Trag’Oul to mature. The power of world-soul titans stemmed from knowledge and truth, and they became stronger through their cognition of the world and knowledge. The various adjustments to the rules of the artificial world of Sanctuary clearly affected Trag’Oul’s growth.

But if Roy didn’t tell him knowledge, Roy could only use the same deformed knowledge to fight Trag’Oul under his deformed cognition!

It was a little like a paradox…

After Roy figured this out, he felt an unprecedented headache. World-soul titans were all powerful and abnormal. He was already mentally prepared, but he didn’t expect this situation.

After understanding this, he began to consider how to break out of this situation…
