Chapter 256: Paradise

Nightmare looked at the parchment of the contract handed over by Mephisto as if he had seen a ghost, he didn't know what kind of power the parchment contained, but the discomfort of paying a little attention to it, including all the contamination of the spirit and soul, made him not want to take this thing at all.

All in all, it's certainly not a good thing.

Something that could threaten him and was not a good thing, he showed even more resistance.

"What is this?" Nightmare's body in position leaned back desperately, its back stuck to the back of the chair, and it showed great resistance and disgust from its body and mind to its expression.

"Contract." Mephisto said calmly.

"You call this a contract? It's ......" Nightmare tries to find an adjective, but suddenly gets stuck, because he finds that it seems that what to use to describe the energy on it does not seem to be accurate.

"This kind of contract is binding on us." Mephisto was remarkable. "Hurry up and sign it, other guys who want to sign this contract may not be qualified."

"I refuse!" Nightmare shook her head firmly. Want to expose him to this dangerous energy? He'd rather die here!

"Actually, there is no need to be so resistant, this contract is a double constraint. Only if you break the contract will you face these energies, and if both parties do not violate the contract, then the energy and the contract are harmless. You can use all your methods to verify what I said. I'm sure you have a way. Luke explained aloud from the side.

"yes, if you don't break the contract, then what are you afraid of?" Mephisto was sidelined with a strange mending knife. It would be better if the nightmare broke out on the spot. Kill his doppelganger first, then find his hometown and capture his body. Although, as Luke said, the efficiency is greatly reduced, but at least there is no need to divide his shares! Of course, all the fritters present were old fritters, and although he showed his malice, he was not excessive.

"Only when you sign this contract can we consider you one of our own. And share all the secrets and benefits with you. Don't you want to know why we worked together and found you again? Odin also interjected.

Nightmare looked at everyone present, especially after seeing Luke take out a row of [Black Nightmare Seeds], he fought fiercely in his heart, and finally took the parchment contract floating in the air with a black face and full of physical and mental resistance.

Of course, he was also careful to learn that Mephisto wrapped the parchment with energy, and did not come into direct contact with himself. He first flipped open the parchment rolled up and read the contents of the contract.

At first glance, nothing seems wrong. The content is quite normal, in order to pull him into Luke, they did give a lot of conditions that made him excited, and what he needed to do and pay, compared to the gains he got from Luke, it was not unacceptable.

So from being full of new resistance, after reading it, I actually felt that I could consider it, and the speed of the change of thinking was in an instant. Of course, an aspiring demon god like him has always wanted more. So even though the contractual conditions were already generous, Nightmare made a bunch of more drastic conditions.

Not surprisingly, the nightmare lion's wide opening was unanimously opposed by everyone present. Mephisto, in particular, was almost a taunt to his face. It almost became a troll show between Mephisto and Nightmare, and Luke and the others stopped watching the scolding battle between the demon gods with great interest.

In the later stage, for the sake of efficiency, the two directly used the consciousness language of energy frequency transformation to communicate, and after an hour, the content of the communication between the two was converted into text, which could fill several terabytes of hard disks.

Nick felt like his brain was overloaded, and the ring he wore had a translation technique that Luke had custom-made for him, so he could certainly understand Mephisto's words. But compared to Luke's calmness, he was much more uncomfortable. The energy consciousness language of the two people was simply a kind of pollution and torture to him, which not only put great pressure on his spirit, but also made his brain show signs of burning out because of the high-speed operation to understand and analyze the other party's words. This forced him to voluntarily turn off the ring's translation function within ten minutes of the start of the scolding war.

Nick rubbed his aching head, a little glad that Luke had left him a choice, otherwise he would have to leave the scene if he couldn't turn off the translation function.

"How long are you going to be arguing?" Luke didn't mind listening more, but the problem was that in terms of the Demon God's view of time, they could really spray here for years without boredom and dry mouth. The passage of time is not much of a loss for them anyway.

But Luke and Strange couldn't afford to sit here for a few years, just to listen to the two demon gods mentally polluting each other. So Luke had to stop him.

"I don't think he has the sincerity to cooperate at all, why don't we change people?" Mephisto regained his normal energy frequency language and spoke. "He's not absolutely irreplaceable."

"I'm sincere." Nightmare busy. He also sensed something bad between Mephisto and Luke, so he hurriedly spoke. If you can't get more, you can't, and it's okay if you can do what is written in the contract.

After all, if the contract says that he can really do it, how much energy can he share! How much trouble can be saved!

"But you have to let me see the results first!" Although the resistance in Nightmare's heart has subsided a lot, and he has verified the contract and Luke's words in various ways, he still shows the treacherous and cautious nature of the demon god. He had to ask Luke to prove the plan promised to him first, and let him see the effect.

"Absolutely. But you need to give some access to the Nightmare dimension first. Luke said.

Nightmare looked at the Ancient One cautiously, if anyone here can still have a certain energy authority of the Nightmare Dimension, it must be the Ancient One. He thought about it, and it seemed that whether he gave it or not, the other party was capable of doing it. At best, it is genuine, with his official support and supply, stable! One is piracy, which will attract his severe crackdown at any time.

According to the plan, the petty theft in the early stage may be okay, but as the energy consumed increases with the scale, it is inevitable that it will not be possible to hide him for a long time. Maybe that's why Luke and the others took the initiative to get in touch with him?

Luke connected the Nightmare Dimension to his own data dimension, and connected the soul of the data dimension with the virtual cabins of Osborne and other enterprises. After adjusting the parameters and settings, he nodded to Nick on the side.

Nick immediately got up from his seat and hurried back to take charge of the overall situation with the help of the portal opened by Strange.

There was a sudden silence in the meeting room.

Nightmare and Mephisto no longer quarreled, Odin and the Ancient One got together to drink and tea, and the remaining two Luke and Strange closed their eyes and divided a part of their minds to immerse themselves in the data dimension, processing affairs and information.

……

Osborne and other companies have also achieved very rich results in exchange for crazy price increases during this time, at least they have poured everything they have, plus various official support and assistance, in just one month, they have created a number of virtual cabins of more than hundreds of millions.

Then, as soon as these virtual pods left the factory, most of them were divided between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the councilors behind them, and the remaining scraps were lost to other collaborators who also contributed.

After receiving Nick's notice, Osborne and other giant companies and officials immediately couldn't wait to announce the countdown to the official launch of the game. A few hours later, for the first time, the world of data dimensions ushered in a large number of access signals in the unit of tens of millions.

After they were hypnotized by the sleeping dream system of the virtual warehouse, they used the open interface to upload their spiritual consciousness to the dimension partition specially opened up for nightmares in the data dimension.

And Nick's various plot scripts and mission processes prepared by them make these accessors have a clear goal and will not be idle.

Of course, although they are the ones who have access to the data dimension, their privileges are much lower than that of Nick and Stark. Stark and they have the right to modify and develop, and these people who access the data dimension through the virtual cabin only have the access rights open to them in the access area.

Just as these people were immersed in the experience of the extremely real world of their senses, the nightmare that had been waiting for the atrium time in Asgard Asgard for several days suddenly raised its head in surprise.

He had just been keenly aware that the dimensional authority he had opened to Luke had just been drained of a large amount of energy, and then it didn't take long for patches of mental fluctuations to appear in his dream world.

Of course, maybe that's a bit inaccurate, because strictly speaking, the mental fluctuations he perceives appear in the nightmare dimension of the data dimension. Figuratively speaking, the nightmare partition of the data dimension is similar to the virtual mirror image of the nightmare dimension, like a shell on the original system.

Then, soon, without him having to do anything on his own initiative, those mental fluctuations began to provide him with abundant nightmare and fear energy. Some of these supplies were of such high quality that they deserved his attention and even considered giving them status.

But that's just the beginning!

For the next few atrium hours, Nightmare's face fluctuated in response to the fluctuations in the information provided by the data dimension, and he was completely immersed in the beautiful feeling that there was a constant supply of nightmares and fears at every moment. He never imagined that the acquisition of energy could become so simple and long-lasting. You don't even have to worry too much about it, you don't even have to develop as a believer!

Even if Luke's plan had already stated the situation, the nightmare would be suspicious in the absence of facts. Because Luke's words were too good, they conflicted with his previous experience.

After all, the dimensional demon gods are generally too old and don't communicate much.

"Wait!" Nightmare's expression changed, and he found that the mental fluctuations he had sensed were disconnecting at a massive rate. He subconsciously used means to plunder and retain, but his energy seemed to have touched some kind of invisible barrier, touching the defense mechanism set by Luke, and the energy stones he put into the sea were swallowed up, and his brain was dizzy with some kind of nasty energy rebound.

"What's going on?" Nightmares ignored her still dizzy head and asked Luke out loud. How long has he been cool just now, why is it suddenly gone?

"Looks like you're happy with the results." A kind smile appeared on Luke's face.

Seeing his smile, Odin and the others glanced at each other, silently lamenting the nightmare in their hearts. Or a sigh of schadenfreude.

"Well, it's okay. It doesn't give much energy back. Nightmare coughed twice and replied. It's true that this doesn't provide him with much energy, but it is worry-free! What could be more comfortable than having to take risks and expend effort on his part to do anything, just to help him take the initiative to feed energy into his mouth? What's more, if he let his other Nightmare Believers and dimensional beings join in, and when the number is completely up, won't he be able to take off? So he has urgency in his heart at the moment.

As for the previous caution or something, it is natural that there is still to be it. But the sense of defensiveness has been reduced to almost none. After all, the effect and potential really made him excited.

"Rest assured, this is only a large-scale test, and it will take some time before it is officially launched and refined. I believe that the next time you turn it on again, the number of people connected will be more and the energy will be more.

In the future, there will be special people who will continue to update the story and version, expanding a rich nightmare world. Of course, if you have any comments, you can also mention them to Mr. Nick Fury, who can let you have intimate exchanges with those designers to better understand your needs. ”

Luke comforts Nightmare warmly and points to Nick Fury, who was picked up by Strange, and introduces Nightmare.

"Can I leave a dimensional sigil on him?" Nightmare's eyes lit up.

"Yes, but you need to pass the security certification of the Supreme Mage First Line! Together with Hebelun, we have developed a series of safety measures and standards. Strange replied as if he were reading a script.

"Is it time to sign a contract? Mr. Nightmare? Luke reminded with a heartfelt knock on the table, pointing to the floating parchment, and with a friendly smile on his face.

"Of course." Nightmare hesitated for a moment, but looked at Luke and the others with burning eyes, and thought about the beautiful scene of continuous energy supply just now, and then thought about the fact that he didn't detect any loopholes and traps from the contract, although the energy above still made him feel uncomfortable and resistant, but if he didn't violate the contract and wouldn't have caused a riot of this energy, it didn't seem impossible to sign?

Even if there are any disagreements and disputes in the future, as long as you accumulate enough energy, even if you violate it, you will violate it. The energy was dangerous, but it wasn't enough to kill him.

After thinking about it in his head, he still couldn't resist the temptation of the future, and the nightmare left his own unique dimensional power imprint on the parchment.
