Chapter 657: Opening the Door and Sneak Attack
Bleeding.

Director Aquarius, who had voluntarily cut off his left hand, took a step back with a pale face, but his palm did not fall, but was perfectly stuck in the groove on the huge door.

Sure enough, even though the Star Palace has been blocked, my authority still cannot be completely replaced until a new director appears.

After looking at his left hand stuck in the door, Director Aquarius couldn't help but show a touch of relief in his eyes. He didn't rush to treat the wound, but recited softly:
"Aquarius, flood, beautiful boy, wine boy, eagle, seeking knowledge, golden vine..."

One after another, secret words of unclear meaning were uttered, and gorgeous patterns of corresponding contents appeared on the huge dark door one by one. The palm stuck on the door sank deeper and deeper, and one-third of the dark door slowly lit up, showing a golden color as bright as the sun.

There are two more times.
After taking a nostalgic look at the golden Aquarius patterns on the door, Director Aquarius took out his other brand new left hand, placed it on his bloody wrist, and pressed against the huge door in front of him again.

"Archer, Midnight, Undead, Commander, Poison Arrow, Sacrifice, Centaur Longbow..."

As Aquarius recited the second set of secret words, the corresponding golden patterns appeared again, lighting up another third of the door. The door, which originally gave people the feeling of being more dead than frozen soil, seemed to suddenly come alive, and even faintly longed for the arrival of the last hand.

"Pisces, love, reflection in water, mother and child, rope, jealousy, golden belt..."

The third, slightly aged left hand was accepted by the gate amid the chanting of secret words. The last third of the door lit up, then flickered for a moment like the sun, and finally disappeared completely.

After the huge door disappeared, what appeared in front of Director Aquarius was a huge room that was almost half bright and half dark with a golden lamp hanging above the head, as well as a large and dense colony of black ants.

Billions of tiny four-legged ants are going in and out of the huge ant nest spread out in eleven balls according to a very strange rule. Those under the light are more active, while those in the dark are quieter.

In one of the ant nests in the dark, a golden ant that was missing its left front leg suddenly raised its head, looked at Director Aquarius at the door, and gently waved the antennae on top of its head.

Is this ant me?

After exchanging a glance with the golden ant that raised its head, Director Aquarius picked up his left hand that had fallen to the ground and reattached it to his wrist. The golden four-legged ant actually grew a new left "hand" and nodded slightly at him.

The country is like a nest and the people are like ants... Although this thing is only anomaly No. 004, in terms of the degree of danger, it is probably much more dangerous than the Watchtower Palace.

After shaking his head slightly and looking at the dense ant colony on the ground, Director Aquarius did not step into the room. Instead, he stood at the door and waved to the golden ant representing himself, signaling it to come towards him, and then looked up at a higher place.

A small female ant, also of golden color, was standing on an invisible staircase, moving her two hind legs laboriously, and moving continuously towards a higher place. Below it was a golden ant, looking up at the "starry sky", as if waiting for something.

The palace has already started to be promoted... This should be Andrew's plan. He really likes to make such shady plans.

Subconsciously squinting his eyes and looking at the ant who was looking up at the stars, Director Aquarius snorted and then blew hard at him from a distance.

The golden ant that was looking up at the starry sky seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly its body was filled with golden light, trying to fight against the danger from unknown source.

But no matter how extraordinary it was, it was still just an ant. It resisted for less than a few seconds before it was blown away by the Aquarius director, and it didn't know where it landed. However, even though it was just a breath, the Aquarius director at the door couldn't help but feel his knees weaken, and he almost knelt down. His face, which was already pale due to blood loss, became three points whiter than paper.

This consumption is really... This is probably what it feels like to have a head-on battle with a shooter.

It seems that rather than directly damaging the target, the correct way to use [Eleven Ant Nests] is to make use of the "symbolic" meaning of these ants and use it in conjunction with other abnormal objects that are normally ineffective.

After holding onto the door frame and taking two deep breaths, Director Aquarius at the door finally recovered a little. He then leaned over and picked up his own golden ant, then took out a golden knife and raised his hand to slash at Director Taurus who was ascending the palace. However...

"Wang Woo!"

Along with the sound of a dog barking in a childish voice, a mirrored crown with a very familiar shape was thrown out from the side of the golden knife. It not only blocked the knife in time, but also flashed slightly in front of Director Aquarius' eyes.

Then, the empty room full of ants disappeared, and in its place was a dark world that was countless times emptier. It was pitch dark everywhere, including in front, behind, left, right, and above the head. Only in the nightmare flowing in the long black river under the feet were there traces of ominous light.

This is? !
“It was a good dream.”

After completing a sneak attack with the help of [Mirror Dog] and successfully dragging Director Aquarius into the dream, Leon, with gray mist lingering around him, stepped into the nightmare created by the crown and slowly stood in front of Director Aquarius, who looked surprised.

"But for you, that may not be the case."

Has he...completely merged with the Nightmare King?

Looking at Leon standing in the endless darkness, standing on the long river of nightmares, Director Aquarius couldn't help but ponder for a moment, then smiled and said:

"So you chose to give up being a human and embrace nightmares. No wonder Thrush lost so quickly... But is this really a good idea? After becoming the Lord of Nightmares, you will also become one of those expelled from the Overwatch Palace. It will probably be difficult for you to return to this world."

You don't have to worry about this.

Of course, he would not explain to Aquarius that his "transformation" was only temporary and would become ineffective once the Fallen Soul Black Abyss retreated. Leon, who had triggered the "evil charm" BUFF in the darkness, said directly with an evil look on his face:

"Aquarius, the support from the Cleanup Bureau will be here soon. Your plan has completely failed!"

“Mr. Lyon, lying is not a good habit.”

Director Aquarius smiled when he heard this, then raised his hand and gently pinched it, directly destroying the rough and immature nightmare in front of him, and returned to the sixth floor of the Virgin Branch.

Then, without waiting for Leon to move, he directly activated the [Time Gap], accelerated his movements by who knows how many times, and slashed at the golden ant that was climbing up the palace.
