Chapter 7 Dream? Let me have another bite! Ciel felt like he was in a dream, a very real dream. He dreamed of a deep and dark seabed beneath the sky, where there was a dry and smelly seabed stretching for thousands of miles with countless strange rocks. He dreamed that at the end of the seabed, a huge ancient city was sleeping. The ancient temple is located in the center of the city. All kinds of grand, fanatical and absurd whispers are heard from the huge closed doors of the temple. Among those mumblings, he confirmed that he had heard a familiar word. "R'lyeh..." Before taking the sublimation potion, Dak told Charles that he could go to R'lyeh to find the remains of the ancients for the preparation of the sublimation potion. And in this dream, this word appeared again among the mumblings. Charles stood in this strange world, feeling his mood sinking little by little. Could it be that the scream from Dak that I heard before I fell into a coma was real?
Was the sublimation potion successful? But even if it succeeds, the unleashing power of the Eternal Blazing Sun should leave Dak with no trace left. When this thought arose in his mind, Charles saw a disgusting mass of flesh and blood squirming on the seabed in his dream. In just a moment, Dak in a black robe grew out from the mass of flesh and blood. But the difference from before was that now a lot of tiny tentacles extended from Dak's body, and green mucus dripped from him from time to time. Ciel's pupils contracted violently. "Dak, you're not dead?" "You did this?" Dake also seemed very confused. "Charles, my friend, what is that expression on your face?" "You clearly pointed out the path to sublimation for me. Look, I now have an unprecedentedly beautiful figure. Why do I feel that you are very repulsive to me?" The next moment, Dak was a little dazed. "Ah, yes, of course, because you have not yet ascended, you still cling to human prejudices." "How sad it is, my friend, that such a wonderful mind is trapped in a human body, but fortunately I will free you soon." Dak said excitedly. "The ancients who once ruled this world, their time is about to return." "I have established a connection with you under the witness of the ancients, my friend. The real me will come to this world through you." "Then, the ancients will return one after another, and you will become the gateway to this great era." When Dak got excited, he couldn't help waving his tentacles like octopus tentacles. Some of them were even waved in front of Charles.
Listening to Dak's endless and excited narration, Charles' body began to tremble slightly. Dak sighed with an obvious sense of superiority. "Don't try to resist, don't try to escape. The connection witnessed by Them cannot be severed even though I have ascended." "Char, whether you like it or not, embrace me, embrace the Old Ones. This is your only choice..." At the same time, as Charles looked at the tentacles waving in front of him, a thought inevitably emerged in his mind. "The main ingredient of the sublimation potion is that disgusting green slime. According to Dak, it is a relic left behind by the ancients." "Judging from Dak's current situation, this thing should not be rare for the Ancients. In other words, the deduction points they can convert into are not very high for the Ancients." "What if I eat a tentacle?" "The deduction points obtained should be much higher than the sublimation potion, right?" After this thought came to his mind, Charles no longer felt disgusted by the tentacles waving in front of him. He just felt like there were a lot of deduction points floating around in front of him. His consciousness called out in his mind. "Dark blue." The mechanical reminder sound that followed made Charles completely relieved. He didn't know what method Dak used to make him have such a real dream, and he even appeared in his dream to play tricks. But since the Deep Blue System was still responding, Charles could eat without worry. At this moment, Charles raised his head and could no longer bear the sight of the tentacles in front of him. He licked his lips and smiled a fiery smile. "Embrace?" "No, no, no, Duck, I'm so happy that a hug isn't enough to express my joy." “I want to celebrate in my own way!” The next moment, Charles reached out and grabbed a tentacle that was dangling in front of him. "You are so tempting and yet you still hang around here. It's decided. You will be the first victim!" In an instant, Charles opened his mouth and bit it. After taking this sip, Dak, who was originally talking endlessly about the glory of the ancients, suddenly paused. Countless tentacles began to wave in panic. "Wait, Ciel, Ciel, what are you doing?!" "what have you done?!" Charles held the tentacle and started to eat it.
With every bite of the tentacle, Deep Blue's continuous reminders rang in his mind. "Deduction points +200..." "Deduction points +200..." After Charles took a few bites, his deduction points, which had been completely consumed by deducing the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse, soared by more than 30,000 points. Charles' eyes almost turned green, filled with desire. That's what happened after eating a few bites, but what if I eat an entire tentacle? What if I eat all the tentacles on Dak? Wouldn't that require tens or even millions of deduction points? What if he also ate the Ancient Ones and the Old Ones that Dark said would come to this world through him? Wouldn't the deduction points be off the charts? ! Ciel raised his arms. "Dake, my good friend, you are so kind. You never forget me even after you become rich." "It is my fortune to have a friend like you." "Hurry, my friend, let me eat a few more bites, I'm really hungry!" At this moment, after having a piece of his tentacle bitten off by Charles, Dak fell into unprecedented panic. "My form has disappeared?" "Who the hell are you?!" Just as Charles opened his mouth wide and wanted to bite off another tentacle, the tentacles on Dak's body quickly shrank. He disappeared at an extremely fast speed. Charles looked around, his eyes first showing confusion, then hatred. "Duck?" "My friend, where are you!" "Why did you leave?" "You wanted me to hug you and congratulate you, but my welcome ceremony wasn't over yet, so why are you leaving?" "You didn't even let me finish eating a tentacle. You lied to me. You don't even consider me a friend!" "Dake, don't go, let me have one bite, let me have another bite!" Then, Charles said quietly. "But don't forget, as you said, we have already established a connection under the watchful eyes of the Ancients, and even you cannot break it." "We'll meet here again, Dake. You can't hide from me forever." "No matter where you are, I will find you." (End of this chapter)
