Chapter 1113 Victory or Loss
Dreams often have no concept of time and may be fast or slow, depending on each person's brain condition.

Even for ordinary people, after being woken up by the alarm clock every morning, they continue to sleep for another five minutes. In reality, the five minutes are very short, but it is very likely that they have experienced a dream of several hours.

For a being like Reuben who almost crushes the entire universe at the brain level and is proficient in dreams, he can achieve [Instant Dream]

In reality, no time has passed, but the brain has already completed an important information dream.

This is also the case currently.

Perhaps it was his instinctive sense of danger that stimulated Reuben's brain to have a 'precognitive dream', a quick prediction of his future, and thus he dreamed of beheading.

Cold sweat dripping down my face.

Reuben felt a sense of threat at the soul level.
He was so frightened that he quickly took back the spreading dreamland and covered himself with it. The line that did not belong to the current dimension was once again drawn around Reuben.

All parameters are adjusted to their maximum values.
Even if he showed his strongest posture at the moment, the predicted result brought by the instant dream remained unchanged, and he would still be beheaded.

"What on earth is this, what on earth have I forgotten, what on earth am I fighting against?
Impossible, my brain is perfect, it is impossible to ignore anything, there is no way anything can escape my brain's perception... The new moon is right in front of us, everything is just one step away, there must be no problems. "

Reuben further compressed the dream state, no longer covering the entire body but acting only on the brain.
It acts on the core brain that is suspended in the real consciousness space, supported by the spine and covered with control chains, also known as [STEM].

The perception is further doubled compared to the previous "self-dream".
He can even feel the most basic flow of matter, and use it to analyze the past state of matter and its possible future direction.

In Reuben's eyes, the whole world became as 'flowing' as code.

Even the most basic logical framework is in full view.
At this moment he finally discovered the problem. He discovered that something that did not belong to "matter" seemed to be moving secretly. Wherever that thing passed, the most basic material structure would collapse and be erased.

"There is something hiding in the 'darkness', in a dimension I have not yet touched! Is it the guy [up there]? Want to stop me from transcending?"

Reuben ordered the employees in the high-rise building to send all energy to the Lighthouse Mental Hospital, activate the Lighthouse to the maximum extent, and project it outward through the moon eyes on his face.

Like a beam of pure white light, it scans the most basic microscopic material level in detail.
"what is that?"

As the light beam swept across a certain area, it accidentally captured a pair of blackened feet, but when the light returned to that location, the feet had disappeared.

The lighthouse's beam continues to scan,
Finally, I found the pair of dark feet in another location, and they were closer than before.

Without hesitation! Buzz!

A spiral beam of chaotic colors and spiritual shock shot out from between Reuben's eyebrows.
As a result, the entire lesion was shot through, even penetrating the edge of the plane, and the neighboring worlds were affected.

But Reuben didn't care how much damage he had caused, he only cared whether the black shadow in front of him had been erased. Where the light of the lighthouse shone, the dark feet no longer existed.

Just when Reuben thought the target had been killed and breathed a sigh of relief, the light from the lighthouse once again glimpsed the dark feet.

This time, the two feet were closer, less than fifty meters away.

"What on earth is that?!"

Reuben also discovered a problem. Every time the opponent appeared, only his feet could be seen... It was as if the opponent knew the scanning route of the lighthouse in advance.

This time he did not attack recklessly, but moved the light upwards, trying to see clearly who was being carried on the legs.

But it was clearly a continuous peeping process. When the light moved up, the shadow disappeared.
Beads of sweat the size of beans had already stuck to the surface of Reuben's brain. He began to release mental shocks indiscriminately, causing the lesions to become riddled with holes.

When Reuben felt mentally exhausted and stopped,

This time, there was no need for the light from the lighthouse to capture it. He saw the dark feet with his naked eyes. They were not far away, but about ten meters in front of him.

He looked up quickly.

This time the dark object did not disappear, revealing its entirety.

The pure black color only revealed the outline of a human figure, probably a normal human male with loose black hair and hands hanging naturally in the shape of knife hands.

"you……"

Because the current dreamland alone enveloped his brain, Reuben's perception reached an unprecedented level. When countless brain cells analyzed the black shadow in front of him, they actually found the missing memory, the 'dead' memory.

"You are...Yi?"

After Reuben subconsciously uttered this unfamiliar word,
The shadow began to move towards him.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Reuben could hear very clear footsteps, even too clear, but the black shadow clearly did not seem to exist in this dimension, and there was no contact between the footsteps and matter at all.

The shadow was just walking normally, but Reuben could sense a threat he had never felt before.

He tried to back away.

But the shadow always remained "relatively still" with him.
Reuben even subconsciously wanted to escape. He turned around and wrapped his body in dreams, transforming into a ray of colorful light and directly escaping from the disease world, not even wanting the crescent moon.

But no matter how fast he speeds up, no matter how many planes he crosses,

The sound of bare feet stepping on the ground was always there, and the shadow was not pulled away at all, and remained relatively still.

It seemed that the black shadow was tied to a coordinate system with him and was not affected by the wide-area coordinates at all.

Getting closer and closer, until only less than two meters away.

"No, I have to go back! I can survive as long as I complete transcendence... This is the ultimate test, a test of my transcendence!"

Reuben burst out with all his strength and returned to the lesion at a speed close to the speed of light, with his palm placed on the crescent moon.

"Next, as long as the absorption is complete, I will be able to..."

Reuben's thoughts paused for a moment, because a black shadow came in front of him and the knife was cutting towards him.

The will to survive prompted him to use all the colors and mental barriers to block in front of him, trying to prevent the knife from approaching.

There are a total of ten layers of this barrier.

There is no way anyone in the current universe can break it.

Even the laser of Xie Yang can only burn the surface at most.

however,
slap~
The footsteps did not stop, still maintaining the previous speed.

The shadow passed him by, all the barriers and colors intact, but Reuben's vision went up and then fell to the ground.

He could only watch helplessly as his headless body fell beside him.

The connection between the head and the body has been severed,

The beheading is complete.

Reuben naturally would not accept this, so he immediately took out the most core power which was also the first disaster, [Time Control], and combined it with dreams to modify reality.

Buzz! Frames are being drawn.

Remove the reality that just happened and replace it with a "false dream".

But as the image in front of my eyes kept flashing, the surrounding matter was constantly reset to the state it was a few seconds ago.
But his head remained on the ground.

The method that had been tried and tested before was no longer effective. It was as if his [beheading] had become an established fact, transcending the constraints of time.

It seemed that from the moment Reuben was born, he was destined to be beheaded.

The Lighthouse Asylum began to collapse.
The nurse smiled. After finishing all the documents, she sat quietly at her workstation waiting for the building to collapse.

"what!!!"

But Reuben didn't want to die. His head fell to the ground and he wanted to scream but no sound came out. He could only open his mouth and shout wildly.

Even if he wanted to abandon his consciousness and devote himself completely to that chaotic world, letting himself fall into complete chaos, he found that the chaotic world connected to the dream was afraid of the black shadow in front of him, and the chaotic existence had already severed the connection.

Reluctance and despair.

Reuben wanted to stick out his tongue to touch the crescent moon that was so close, but as soon as his tongue left his mouth, it quickly faded and disappeared.
Less than 1/3 of the brain remained on the ground.

He could never understand why he had already reached the gate of [Transcendence] but still failed, and why those guys up there were so stingy that they were not willing to give up even a seat.

Just as his vision was gradually swallowed by darkness,

He unexpectedly saw the scene beneath the dark shadow.
That was not the so-called "above" being at all, but a young man, a young man he had seen before.

He finally remembered and called out the full name.

"Yi Chen..."

Even though it would completely dissipate in the next second, Ruben's super brain, which was like a terminal, still completed the processing of all the data and figured out everything that was happening in front of him.

Figured out the whole situation.

This [game] set up for him by William, even Lorian's meeting with him was taken into consideration. It seemed that he must take a crucial step in order to become the key stepping stone shining with colorful luster at the end of the road.

All plans are to achieve the transcendence of another existence.

William had invited him to a "brain duel" at the beginning of the stage, and now the winner has been decided.

"……I lost."
