CHAPTER 311: CHAPTER311-A STRANGE ENCOUNTER IN THE MENTAL PLANE

As Daniel continued to venture deeper into the Mental Plane, he suddenly sensed something unusual.

Around his body, a number of treasure chests—both large and small—began to form.

However, unlike the other chests, the ones surrounding Daniel were shrouded in thick mist.

Daniel instinctively used Eye of Insight to examine them.

[Mist-bound Treasure Chest]

[Description: Treasure chests affected by mist, unreadable by anyone other than the owner.]

It seemed that even his thoughts could be hidden within this mist.

Thinking about it, the power of the Mental Plane was truly terrifying.

Without protective measures, anyone who entered this plane would be able to access the thoughts of other beings.

Though opening these chests might require answering questions, the defense was not particularly strong. For example, Daniel’s Universal Gauntlet could easily bypass this issue.

This meant that, once inside the Mental Plane, one could freely access the innermost thoughts of others.

Seeing so many chests around him, Daniel’s mind suddenly sparked with an idea.

He raised his hand and cast Thunderfall Shield, ensuring the range was restricted to his surroundings.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen worn treasure chests were instantly destroyed.

At the same time, Daniel felt as though he had forgotten something.

Wait, what was I thinking just now?

Instinctively, Daniel glanced at the skill he had just used.

Then a realization dawned on him, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

Ah, I wanted to test what would happen after destroying these chests.

The result of this experiment was that, upon breaking open the chests, the thoughts contained within them also vanished.

It had to be said—the Mental Plane was incredibly fascinating.

Milla hadn’t lied; this plane was indeed worth exploring.

With this thought in mind, Daniel had other ideas brewing.

If the Mental Plane could influence the thoughts of living beings, maybe he could do something else here.

However, there was a problem at hand: how to find the exact chest containing the thoughts he wanted to destroy?

After all, the Mental Plane was vast, filled with the thoughts of countless beings.

Searching for a specific thought was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Never mind, this idea is just something to think about for now.

It was about time to leave this place.

With that in mind, Daniel controlled his body and flew toward the center of the plane.

After all, he wasn’t here just for fun.

However, just as he flew for a short while, a massive treasure chest suddenly appeared in his senses.

The chest was enormous—its size far beyond anything Daniel had ever imagined.

This treasure chest was as large as a star!

Seeing this, Daniel was stunned.

He had never seen a treasure chest this big.

In fact, its size even surpassed that of the entire Continent of All Races!

What was even more remarkable was that this chest looked extraordinarily luxurious, its surface gleaming with a metallic sheen that suggested it was incredibly sturdy.

A chest of this size could only be extremely difficult to open.

Daniel instinctively tried to use Eye of Insight, but he couldn’t glean any information about the chest.

[Fake Godfleshheart’s Thought Chest]

[Current State: Sealed]

[Unable to view the contained thought.]

It seemed that the thoughts within this chest were highly significant to Fleshheart.

Daniel paused and thought for a moment, then a bold idea crossed his mind. He reached for his God of Thieves’ Dagger.

At the same time, Daniel summoned an avatar in the Mental Plane.

Together with his avatar, he attacked the chest.

On the Fleshheart Continent,

At this moment, the entire continent was recovering at an incredible speed.

Although it had suffered devastating blows from a god, due to some underlying rules, the Fleshheart Continent was rapidly regenerating.

As the ruler of the continent, Fleshheart himself began to grow back and transformed the entire land back into flesh.

The entire continent was now covered with rapidly growing flesh buds, giving off a repulsive and disgusting appearance.

Bright red flesh writhed and expanded, creating a grotesque sensation.

Deep within the continent, Fleshheart was radiating intense hatred.

"Damned humans! You all ruined everything!"

"I was so close—just one step away—one small step from reaching Demigod Rank!"

"But now? Everything’s ruined, all thanks to that damned human."

Meanwhile, in the Abyss, the Abyss Emperor Malkar heard these roars.

The roars made him uneasy, and even his vine-like limbs trembled involuntarily.

If Fleshheart suddenly went mad and started rampaging through the Abyss, Malkar, as the Abyss Emperor, would undoubtedly die at his hands.

Malkar’s level was still under 300, while Fleshheart had already reached the peak of Fake God status.

Even after being struck down, Fleshheart’s tier had remained unchanged.

As such, dealing with Malkar would be effortless for him.

As Malkar sat in deep thought, helpless and uncertain,

the vines that were once growing recklessly in Fleshheart’s domain suddenly stopped moving.

A wave of confusion and bewilderment flooded Fleshheart’s mind.

"Wait a minute... what was I saying just now?"

In the Mental Plane,

After some time of flying, Daniel finally reached the enormous treasure chest.

However, the chest before him presented an enormous challenge to open.

The chest, with its gigantic size, emitted a dazzling light that illuminated all the smaller surrounding chests.

Daniel had a feeling that this chest was like a star, drawing in the surrounding ordinary chests with its massive gravitational force.

The smaller chests began to revolve around the large chest, almost like they were tangled up with it.

Without hesitation, Daniel moved closer to the awakening chest.

But just as he got near, a flood of intrusive thoughts filled his mind.

"I wonder what raw meat tastes like. Would it be sweet?"

"Would meat from the same species taste even better?"

"Would worshiping Fleshheart really grant me eternal life?"

"..."

Daniel’s mind was clear. He realized these thoughts should not have been his.

It was obvious that the enormous chest was influencing his thoughts.

If the chest contained such potent thoughts, it could easily affect others as well!
