Chapter 1399: Chapter 1397: The Start of the War (Part 2)

A street block filled with a camouflage luster, where more than 80% is covered with vegetation.

Flowers and grass blanket every street nearby, with branches heavy with fruit bursting through the windows of every household, their trunks intertwining in the air to even weave a dense network of plants between buildings.

Something like dandelion fluff continues to drift down from the sky.

The deeper one goes, the more one feels detached from reality.

When one military unit traversed this area, a Terminator after Terminator suddenly ceased to function, their programs entering "sleep mode" without having received any command to do so.

The mythical entity leading this unit hailed from the [Guilt World].

Unlike the [Agents-Goodman] who were directly connected to the mother system, this mythic being could not wake the sleeping machinery with program changes or additional commands.

If they continued deeper, all units under his command would fall into slumber.

But it was not just simple sleep.

Once the machinery or individuals fall into hibernation, plants would slowly start to grow on their surface, eventually becoming a part of the floral and verdant sea.

Faced with such a scenario, the leader of this unit, Vante Laziness of the Sin of Sloth, showed not the slightest worry and even wore a sort of satisfied smile.

Hailing from the Guilt World, he was not directly overseen by the Beheading King.

He came here under the directives of the [Sin Infant] to assist the Beheading King in securing victory in their mission and to snag the greatest possible reward from the Black Tower for the Guilt World.

Even without the enhancements of the mother system’s code, he had reached the Late Mythical Period... it’s just that he had been too lazy to attend the Guilt World’s ’Sinful Assessment’.

In appearance.

He was so lazy to walk that he had his legs made into a wheel structure,

His enormously fat belly swayed constantly with every move, so much so that it felt like it might split open at any moment,

Too lazy to process visual information, he dug out his own eyes,

Reluctant to analyze sound sources and targets, he pierced a long needle horizontally through his eardrums,

And for convenience in eating, he fashioned his mouth into a funnel to directly pour food inward, as well as remade his tongue into a straw for quickly sucking up liquid nourishment.

The nose alone was left intact.

After all, when indulging in food cravings, he needed to use his nose to savor the delicacies.

At the same time, his nose was his most acute sense, used to handle various types of combat.

His olfactory senses could not only sniff out hidden dangers in the environment but also inhale Sinuous Threads through his nostrils, easily deciphering an opponent’s relevant information and weaknesses.

"Sleep, truly the most delicious of food..."

Vante seemed to really like this area overgrown with plants.

Following this~ swish swish swish!

A multitude of Sinuous Threads wormed out from his navel, drawing all the slumbering members of the unit forward, slowly dragging them on.

The purpose of this action remains unknown, and the Dream witches hidden among the plants also could not comprehend.

At the same time.

Moon Lady Agatha, too, was stealthily deploying her witches, waiting for the intruders to be almost entirely asleep, leaving only this lazy individual, as a point for directly applying the single-targeted Dream Secrets spell.

The lazy Vante continued onward.

As more individuals fell into hibernation, he had to extend more Sinuous Threads from his navel to drag his unit along.

"Getting heavier and heavier... So tired! That should be enough."

Nearly 90% of the hundred thousand-strong unit had fallen into slumber.

The lazy Vante suddenly stopped, his abdomen opening up an incredibly exaggeratedly large mouth... the Sin Sphere of slothful myth glimmered from deep within this huge maw.

Under the guidance of the orb’s traction.

The Sinuous Threads shot from the navel all turned into "straws," drawing from the slumbering ones a unique ’special beverage’ – the Source of Laziness, which only Vante could absorb.

Sleeping itself is an expression of laziness, which can be directly absorbed by Vante and transformed into his own energy.

Each gulp involved sucking through more than a hundred thousand straws.

For a moment, the slumbering machinery and Sin Spirits all awoke.

And it was an awakening of unprecedented clarity, sweeping away the fatigue of marching and the tension brought by War, as every trace of laziness within their bodies was absorbed.

Belch~

At the same time, a thunderous belch emanated from within Vante, the strong gusts dispersing through the streets.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve consumed such a large amount of the laziness sin... feels so good."

Vante’s overall aura had nearly doubled in strength compared to when he first arrived on the streets, especially the gaping mouth on his abdomen, now seemingly capable of devouring space itself.

...

"All routes must pass through this damp area.

And it’s no ordinary dampness... The water stains filling the streets carry a scent of the Deep Sea, and it belongs to the oldest of seas, even older than our own world."

In another extremely humid street area.

A Mythic Body signalled his troops to wait outside the water-soaked regions while he personally inspected the stretch of street taken over by seawater.

Holding a Dragon Scales Magic Staff in his right hand, a brilliant crystal emitting a strong Magic Aura gently spun at the tip of the staff.

A cloak woven from blue crystal dragon scales shrouded his whole body, within which one could vaguely make out the handsome face of a young man, his pupils twinkling with a sapphire luster.

Coming from the Dragon Kingdom, the [Weaving Dragon – Duke Maintos].

He was quite different from the mountain Giant Dragons that were imprisoned by Green in the Abyss and subjected to the madness of corruption.

Duke did not possess the robust physique typical of Dragon peers... He might not even be able to physically fight and defeat a mountain Giant Dragon from [Opening the gate].

But.

He was hailed as the successor to the future Dragon Kingdom, and he was also extremely unique himself.

Weaving Dragons are extremely rare in the Dragon Descendant World, making up less than 0.1% of the population, with unique blue crystal Dragon Scales and exceptional Magic Affinity.

The Dragon Blood flowing in their veins is a high concentration of magical energy.

The vascular patterns naturally woven throughout their bodies create the most perfect Magic Circuit.

Duke is one of the best among them, and also a unique magic genius... Unsatisfied with staying in the Dragon Descendant World, he ventured early on through the connection of worlds and the Black Tower to explore various worlds, collecting and learning the magic of these different worlds.

He didn’t choose the evolutionary path of Dragon Descendants, but pursued the more difficult path of Fate, belonging to the same category as Fate travelers like Han Dong. He stepped into the ranks of Myth ten years ago.

Due to his close relationship with the Black Tower, his understanding of Demons also exceeded that of other Dragon Descendants.

At the moment, he quickly analyzed the composition of the seawater and the Deep Sea contamination contained within it through his touch.

"Analysis complete!"

In an instant.

A pair of blue dragon wings, coursing with magical patterns, unfolded behind him.

A torrent of magical seeds spilled from the wings, falling upon all his subordinates, granting them an effective immunity against the erosive dangers of seawater.

However, his own eagerness for battle was not particularly strong; he was more of a Seeker of Knowledge.

"Ah... It is said that Demons have been studying ancient magic since the creation of the universe, and some Demons were even born from magic.

If it were possible to avoid War and give me a chance to discuss the origins of magic with the Wise Men among them, allowing me to attempt learning the oldest, most chaotic magic, how wonderful that would be."
