Chapter 479: Transcendent Skill, Inception
[Inception]
[Level: Transcendent]
[Rarity: Perfect]
[Description: This is a detailed summary of a master dream stealer’s skill. If you can master it completely, you’ll be able to become the master of the dream world and even steal another person’s mind!]
On Dragon Peak, Ji Ye used his EXP to learn the skill he obtained from Dom Cobb.
After that, he asked the foreign hero, “Chief Cobb, what do you think of the Dense Fog?”
“These fogs should contain some kind of powerful hypnotic ingredients so that after inhaling it, the target would enter an uncontrolled sleeping state. Subsequently, this alien race can use the fog space that’s equivalent to a dream to kill the target.”
The blue-eyed man looked a lot like DiCaprio himself. He held the bottle containing some gray fog, sniffed it, and seemed lost for a moment.
But he soon recovered and looked up at the sky.
Dragon City was completely surrounded by the Dense Fog.
Although with the Feng Shui formation, the fog couldn’t breach the city, the scene alone was depressing enough.
“Roar, roar, roar…”
More importantly, they could see a great number of shadows of different sizes approaching.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ji Ye and Cobb were standing on Dragon Peak. In the fog above them, they could see some enormous creatures with a wingspan of over 10m that looked like pterosaurs were circling around the yellow dragon of the Feng Shui formation.
The gray fog covered an area of dozens of square kilometers.
How many aliens and monsters that were controlled by the fog were hidden in it?
“There are tens of thousands of them at least!”
Guo Wei spoke on the communication channel. He held the Giant Destroyer and stood under the White Tiger outside the technology center on the west.
“The Dense Fog really has very good timing. Our main combat members are still outside, and the main troops wouldn’t get back until tomorrow morning. The fog probably will be ready to attack this evening, and they can finish the battle tonight.”
Dragon City felt that the fog would start the attack tonight because of the humans’ work schedules. They needed to sleep at night, and once they went to sleep, the Dense Fog could invade their dreams even with the protection of the Feng Shui formation. They could drag people into the fog space that Ji Ye had entered before and kill them.
Before Ji Ye came back, a few children were too sleepy and fell asleep when their parents weren’t looking.
And they never woke up again.
Because the people killed by the Dense Fog had their souls devoured, even Ji Ye’s Healing talent couldn’t cure them.
“I’ve had all the children in the settlement transferred to the altar area. There, the settlement core will release the power of providence to protect them. Even if they fall asleep, the fog won’t be able to kill them.”
Ji Ye turned to look at the altar area under Dragon Peak.
“Teehee, big dragon…”
The yellow dragon of providence circled around over a dozen children that were crawling around in excitement, and some even tried to touch the dragon’s whiskers.
Although it would cost the city extra power of providence and didn’t seem a sensible decision,
any intelligent race would do the same thing.
Most of the children’s parents were veteran natives that had been with the settlement since the Twin Dragon Mount era. They had made great contributions to the settlement.
“I heard that we’ve already built nuclear bombs here.”
After glancing at the children, Cobb remembered something and asked in a confused tone.
As someone from a modern era, he knew the power of such a weapon. Theoretically, the city could throw out a few of those and kill the monster outside.
“The nuclear bombs are too powerful, and it’s too difficult to limit them to a precise range. The gray fog has surrounded us from the ground to the sky. Even nuclear bombs can’t kill it with great precision. We may even disturb the terrain and destroy the Feng Shui formation!” said Guo Wei in the communication channel.
And that wasn’t the only reason.
Dragon City was very concerned with the Dense Fog because tens of thousands of alien creatures that belonged to dozens of species might be in the fog, and a nuclear explosion would destroy them all, including the aliens that could become Dragon City’s rewards.
Moreover, the explosion would create too much radiation that would cost a lot of power of providence to clean up. It wasn’t worthwhile.
“If we can kill the mind of the Dense Fog race in the fog space, maybe we can keep all those creatures without shedding any blood.”
Ji Ye looked at the pterosaurs circling around the yellow dragon.
When the dragon brushed the Dense Fog aside with its paws, he checked the attribute of the pterosaurs with the Heavenly Eye. They were all western Dragon Blood creatures of Extraordinary Rank-5 and above.
Unlike the unicorns and Nightmares that could carry one person at a time, the pterosaurs were big enough to have five or six people sit on their back.
Ji Ye planned that after they set up the sub-settlements, they could use these pterosaurs as their transportation method. Killing them would be such a waste.
“I see.
“Master Ji, I’ll use Inception to create dreams to be used as traps. As soon as the Dense Fog attacks, I’ll build on that dream and try to take them down before nightfall.”
Of course, Cobb knew what Ji Ye wanted.
“Sure, go ahead.
“I’d like to get familiar with Inception so that I can go into the dream with you.”
Ji Ye also wanted to use Fusion on Inception to master the skill.
Because it had great potential.
For one, he would be able to build a “host dream” as he liked.
He could project the people in his subconscious in that dream and make them part of his fighting capability.
For another, he could take the target of his companions into that host dream by linking their minds.
Of course, as a Transcendent hero, Cobb also had a remarkable talent skill. He could plant ideas in living creatures’ minds.
That was why Ji Ye wasn’t very excited when he first heard whom they had summoned.
To some extent, talents concerning psychology and minds were far more dangerous than those targeting the physical body because they came with potential threats.
In the film, Cobb was more like an anti-hero. His work involved stealing confidential information through dreams for business competitors, and he was a wanted fugitive.
In Dragon City, most people didn’t want to get too close to someone like Wuxin, who could read minds, let alone a person like Cobb who could “plant ideas”.
But Ji Ye himself wasn’t worried.
Because Su Nongying’s Registration Book had been upgraded, and with it, he could see the talent information of everyone in the settlement.
He saw that Cobb’s talent ability wouldn’t work on players of the same settlement, and to plant an idea, Cobb had to be in a dream.
