My Divine Beasts Are Really Not Evil Gods

Chapter 12: The Third Super-tier Skill

Because he could only evolve one skill below super-tier, he could at most evolve a high-tier skill into a super-tier one.

Therefore, the two super-tier skills were the first to be excluded.

【Rending Demon Eye】 was also not an option. If it evolved to super-tier, its power would increase, but so would its side effects.

The current number of Blood-Corroding Insects might not be able to sustain the life force consumption, making it impossible to convert into immediate combat power.

【Mind's Eye Soul-Controlling Sword】 and the other space-type skills were sufficient for now.

To deal with the upcoming Nightmare Beast, he could only enhance abilities related to the dream attribute. Excluding the mid-tier 【Dreamscape's Blessing】, that only left the Phantom Dream Spider's racial skill, 【Dream Weaving】!

Its ability was to weave a protective net for the dreamscape, but it was too singular, only allowing for passive defense.

In a direct comparison, it was far inferior to the effects of the 【Dream Eating】 skill.

I wonder what effect it will have after evolving?

Lu Yu directly chose to evolve it.The pattern for the Dream Weaving skill blurred for a moment, then became a brand-new skill.

【Dream Prison: Super-tier, evolved from the Dream Weaving skill.

Allows the user to spit out Phantom Dream Silk containing the power of space and dreams to create a Prison of Dreams. The outer wall can protect the soul and dreamscape, while the inner wall is hard and can imprison dream lifeforms or pull the consciousness of real-world beings into captivity.

【PS: The formed Dream Prison can be strengthened by absorbing the dreams of intelligent lifeforms.】

After being promoted to super-tier, it went from a useless passive defense skill to an active control skill, and it even added the ability to protect the soul.

The most crucial part was that this was a growth skill!

It could be strengthened through a large number of dreams!

Gamble a bit, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle!

If the previous Phantom Dream Spider had possessed this ability, it would have long been taken away by the higher-ups, and it would never have been Lu Yu's turn.

"Ying?"

A trace of confusion also appeared on Little Spider's face as information about 【Dream Prison】 suddenly flooded its mind.

It felt that this must have something to do with its master. As for the reason…

There was no reason.

Master is the best!

Thinking of this, Little Spider began to clap:

"Ying ying!"

Master is so amazing!

It was completely sincere, without a hint of fakeness.

Saintess of the Praise-Praise Cult!

Even Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a little smug after receiving Little Spider's round of Rainbow Farts.

This little one was truly a bundle of joy.

However, he hadn't forgotten the important matter at hand and commanded, "Little Spider, enter my dreamscape and weave the Dream Prison!"

The moment he finished speaking, Lu Yu realized he wasn't lying on the bed yet.

Just as he was about to correct himself, he felt an overwhelming wave of drowsiness wash over him. With a silent curse, his body fell straight forward.

However, before he could hit the ground, he was caught mid-air by nearly transparent spider silk. With a wave of Little Spider's hand, Lu Yu was gently placed on the bed, and it even thoughtfully tucked him in.

"Ying!"

Only after doing all this did Little Spider flicker through the void to its master's side, its form turning ethereal as it prepared to enter the dreamscape.

However, since this was Lu Yu's first time, his Dreamscape Passage was rather narrow.

So, Little Spider carefully propped it open and let out a soft "ying ying," indicating that it was a bit big and that its master should bear with it.

Then, it widened the passage and crawled in, bit by bit.

In reality, as a dream-type pet beast, it wasn't this difficult for Little Spider to enter a dreamscape. It was just that it had just been born and was unfamiliar with its abilities, its skill proficiency was only at the entry-level, and it was afraid of hurting its master, which was why it took its time.

Once it became more proficient, it could enter and exit freely, even forcing its way into some tougher dreamscapes.

Meanwhile, Lu Yu's consciousness also entered the dreamscape, appearing in the middle of a deep sea.

His body began to sink once more, and he again felt the sensation of suffocation and helplessness.

Only this time, he remained lucid.

With a single thought, the scene before him changed, and he arrived on a small island.

This was his dreamscape; he could control it with a single thought.

In his previous life, some incredible people could also control their dreams, but they relied on constant training to awaken lucid dreaming, whereas he relied on Little Spider.

He raised his head and looked at the nine suns in the sky.

Although they were still overlapping and undergoing aberration, they lacked a bit of their eeriness, and the "Beast" that had gestated within the light was gone.

If he had to describe it, it was as if it had the form but not the spirit!

This was because it wasn't the true Taboo Sun, but merely the Nightmare Beast influencing him through the mark, forcing him to constantly recall the most terrifying thing in his heart.

However, memories are constantly processed over time, thereby attaching new meanings to them.

For example, you might have thought something was delicious as a child, but when you eat it again as an adult, it never tastes the same.

This is because memories process themselves automatically.

In short, the nightmare didn't have the ability to manipulate the Taboo Curse, so what Lu Yu recalled was only the fear from his own memory.

Although the appearance was the same, it was actually just a high-quality imitation.

Lu Yu looked at what was once his greatest nightmare and couldn't help but remark, "I have to say, nine suns are actually quite warm!"

"Ying?"

Little Spider appeared on his shoulder.

Although it wore a blindfold, the six Void Eyes behind it squinted. It didn't feel warm; on the contrary, it felt that so many suns were a bit glaring.

Lu Yu laughed heartily. He stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, and the nine suns in the sky disappeared.

In their place was a huge black hole, as if the sky had sprung a leak, from which a dense malice emanated.

That was the mark planted by the Nightmare Beast, and it was also the source of his nightmares.

As the fear vanished, its true form was revealed.

"Ying."

Little Spider frowned, not liking this aura.

Dream-type lifeforms and nightmares were natural enemies.

It stretched out its slender, fair hands.

Strand after strand of rainbow-colored silk threads shot out from its fingertips, and its fingers continuously tapped in the air, like a top-tier pianist performing a magnificent sonata.

The numerous rainbow-colored silk threads danced like a fairy's gossamer robes, perfectly interwoven.

It took a full several hours to weave a large spider web that covered the entire dreamscape.

The mesh was dense, and a large number of irregular threads were wound on top of the web's surface, which could intercept flying creatures while also strengthening the web's durability.

From this day on, Lu Yu's dreamscape had become a giant prison, and he had deliberately left the area around the black hole unrepaired.

Without dealing with the Nightmare Beast, the mark could not be dispelled.

Repairing it rashly would only arouse the other party's vigilance. It was better to wait for it to walk right into the trap.

Once the nightmare stepped into the dreamscape, it would fall into the spider web. The more it struggled, the more tightly it would be bound by the threads, eventually becoming prey.

Now, Lu Yu wanted to be the hunter and see what kind of effects a Skill Secret Food made from a nightmare would have.

According to Little Spider's senses, the nightmare's attack should be within the next month, perhaps even sooner.

Therefore, not knowing the opponent's strength, he had to make more preparations.

He really wouldn't feel at ease without a few dozen trump cards.

Grumble—

Lu Yu heard the sound and looked at Little Spider. The latter's face was pale, and it had entered a weakened state.

After all, it had only been born for a few hours and hadn't eaten at all during that time. It had also woven a complete Dream Prison web.

It was already a good thing that it hadn't collapsed from exhaustion.

In fact, what Lu Yu didn't know was that an ordinary Phantom Dream Spider would need months of work to weave a protective net for its master's dreamscape, and it would need to eat a lot during that time.

Lu Yu had originally prepared for it to take several days, but he didn't expect Little Spider to finish it all at once, which caught him somewhat off guard.

But in the end, it was his own inadequate preparation.

Little Spider was a space and dream attribute, so its food should also be based on these two attributes. Ordinary human food had little effect on it.

But space-type materials were ridiculously expensive, and not necessarily available for purchase. Having just been born, it couldn't directly enter the Void Turbulence to devour space fragments.

Because dream-type beasts were not strong and were few in number, there were very few offline stores that sold related fodder. It could only be bought online, but it was definitely too late for that now.

Of course, it could also absorb the energy emitted by dreamscapes, but absorbing too much would lead to the target becoming listless, having memory loss, and other problems.

Having the 【Dream Eating】 skill would be more convenient, allowing it to directly devour dreams, but that would damage the soul and was an illegal act.

Once discovered, one would be fined by the Alliance or even imprisoned.

As an overlord-rank cub, Little Spider would suffer from malnutrition if it ate too little, not to mention it still had to strengthen the Dream Prison.

"Ying ying!"

Little Spider also sensed its master's distress. It casually created a Dream Bubble filled with delicious food, swallowed it in one gulp, and showed a satisfied expression on its face.

Then, it waved its hand to indicate that it was no longer hungry.

In ancient times, Cao Cao drew plums to quench his thirst; today, Little Spider creates dreams to stave off hunger.

But its face remained pale.

This display of maturity made Lu Yu feel even more guilty.

While placing an order online, he comforted it, "It's alright, I'll go make you a big meal!"

He thought that since he had the 【Master of the Gate】 talent, as long as he made food of 【Good】 Quality or higher and it produced a special effect like mana replenishment, it should be able to feed Little Spider, right?

Then, two hours later…

Lu Yu looked at the pile of 【Normal】 Quality dishes on the table, feeling like they were silently mocking him.

He had overestimated his cooking skills.

It was fine for daily meals, but he was still a long way from achieving 【Good】 quality to get a special effect.

But where could he find a large number of dreams? Humans were not an option, but other intelligent lifeforms…

Wait, intelligent lifeforms!

Lu Yu's gaze sharpened.

He had an idea…
