Chapter 381: Crash into it!
"It's all over! To think that I, Freddie Krueger, would die here so quietly, unnoticed—even if I had to die, it should have been with everyone's attention on me!" Freddie's eyes were filled with despair.
Just then, he caught a glimpse of an incredible figure in the city below, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Xu Yi! You're actually still alive?"
Xu Yi pushed open the manhole cover of the sewer and stealthily poked his head out.
No matter what, Freddie could never have imagined that Xu Yi was still alive!
"Dammit!" Xu Yi cursed inwardly, thankful that this was just an image he had created in Freddie's mind through intervention.
If this had been real, that shout would have ruined the hard-won chance of escape that Xu Yi had managed to create.
Freddie's thinking was simple: he feared Xu Yi would try to escape alone and not come to save him because if their roles were reversed, that's exactly what he would do.
"Seems like you're really disappointed?" Xu Yi rolled his eyes.
In Freddie's eyes, Xu Yi's face seemed to have two faces on it right now.
Seeing this, Freddie would naturally fill in the blanks about how he survived, decreasing the chances of getting caught.
"You're so unrighteous, having such a good method and not even telling me!" Freddie accused first as the guilty party.
"If you want to die, keep chatting with me here!" Xu Yi was completely hopeless about Freddie's character.
"You have a way? Brother, tell me quickly! If I can get out of here alive, I will make sure to repay you well," Freddie said excitedly.
As for Freddie's words, of course, Xu Yi didn't believe a single one, but who made the other party a Domain Soul, and all of his abilities would soon belong to him.
"Oss is fully occupied with dealing with this hero, so it's the weakest moment. Go and invade his core now!" Xu Yi roared.
"Are you telling the truth?" Freddie expressed his skepticism.
The black vortex spun faster and faster, the suction grew stronger and stronger, Jason's body steamed with blood-colored airflow, resisting the pull of the vortex, but still inching towards it.
"Trust me! I have absolute confidence!" Xu Yi shouted at the top of his lungs.
He had no confidence at all; he was just bluffing Freddie, resorting to desperate measures.
But he wasn't just speaking nonsensically; he was making some basic judgments based on the current situation.
As for whether it would succeed or not, only heaven knew.
His thought was that even if it didn't work, it could still create some disturbance to Oss and prevent Jason from being banished.
"Possessive Invasion" was one of Freddie's abilities, which Freddie had wanted to use to devour Xu Yi, but he had been taught a lesson by the Soul-Shattering Ice Crystal.
"If you're lying to me, you're dead!" Freddie stared into Xu Yi's eyes, trying to judge whether he was being deceived.
To Xu Yi, his threat was utterly unimpressive.
Freddie could not see any flaws, and since he didn't have any other options left, he took the risk to attempt it.
His forehead suddenly split open, revealing a dark, insect-like eye that shot out a green beam. The beam was ethereal, ignoring the pull of the black vortex and landing on the mountain of flesh.
Xu Yi wasn't surprised by this scene; while snooping through Freddie's memories, he had specifically researched this information, which was why he could come up with this plan.
The situation was at a standstill for the moment, with Jason getting closer and closer to the dark vortex. If things continued like this, the final victory would surely belong to Oss.
Although only two or three seconds had passed, to Xu Yi, the time felt excruciatingly long.
The insect that Freddie had transformed into suddenly began to twist in agony, nearly breaking free from Jason's body and getting sucked away by the black vortex, but thankfully Xu Yi intervened.
So it had failed after all? Xu Yi's heart sank to the bottom. A makeshift plan was reliably unreliable.
"Damn it, Xu Yi, you really are a prophet!" Freddie's lifeless eyes suddenly lit up, and he let out a strange cry.
"You succeeded?" Xu Yi couldn't believe it.
"It seems so? I can now control the Kingdom of Sorrow," Freddie said, his tone a bit hesitant.
"Freddie is amazing!"
Xu Yi couldn't help exclaiming. Typical invasions start by controlling the host before gaining control over all their possessions. He hadn't expected Freddie to achieve control in one fell swoop.
"Freddie, why haven't you stopped the vortex? Do you want to take a trip to outer space?" Xu Yi glanced at the sky and suddenly froze.
The black vortex still remained, and Jason was getting closer and closer to it, his body trembling, looking like he could be sucked in at any moment.
"What black vortex? Didn't I tell you? I have gained control over the Kingdom of Sorrow!"
Freddie's tone was full of dissatisfaction, hurriedly saying, "Tell me quick! What should I do next? I'm about to be sucked in!"
"This dreamscape doesn't belong to Oss; it's also an invader!" Xu Yi suddenly understood.
No wonder Freddie didn't know Oss was in the Kingdom of Sorrow, no wonder Freddie was able to so easily take control ...
It was because Oss had devoured the original owner of this dreamscape before he could seize control over the Kingdom of Sorrow.
The dream obtained by force was inherently not tightly connected. Now, with Jason having diverted most of his attention, it was somewhat justifiable that Freddie could exploit the opening and enter.
"Hurry up and think of something! If I survive this, I promise I'll reward you handsomely!" Freddie, seeing the blackness of the abyss so close, was completely panicked.

"Don't rush me! I'm thinking!" If he were physical, Xu Yi would be sweating buckets by now.
"Get the Kingdom of Sorrow out of Thorn Forest!" A flash of inspiration shot through Xu Yi's mind; he had suddenly thought of a plan!
"What good will that do?" Freddie couldn't understand the purpose of doing this.
"Stop the bullshit and just do it!" Xu Yi urged him.
Understanding the urgency, Freddie dared not waste any more time. The Kingdom of Sorrow shook violently and then began to move slowly, gaining speed.
To get a better view, Freddie turned the grey Boundary Membrane transparent. The sky suddenly brightened, and they could see the red clouds enveloping the Kingdom of Sorrow.
The Kingdom of Sorrow was like a starship navigating through red fog.
"Faster!" Xu Yi shouted fiercely.
"This is the fastest it can go!" Although Freddie said that, he still tried to make the Kingdom of Sorrow travel a bit faster.
The Kingdom of Sorrow passed through the fog, and Jason and Freddie were left with less than three meters to the black vortex. And the life-threatening issue was that the red airflow surrounding Jason suddenly began to recede.
Without the red airflow to resist the suction, he would likely not last even a second!
"I guessed it right!" Xu Yi looked up at the sky and let out a breath of relief.
After leaving the red fog behind, the view became completely unobstructed. The familiar black "sun" hung quietly in the sky—that was the Black Abyss belonging to Isoson.
He had already figured out Isoson's plan. The reason he accepted Freddie was to use him as a pawn, to probe into the depths of the Kingdom of Sorrow.
Isoson's initial goal was to eliminate Oss.
So, Isoson would definitely be watching nearby after Freddie entered the Kingdom of Sorrow, and now, as expected, he hadn't been mistaken.
"Crash into it!" Xu Yi suddenly spoke up.
"What?" Freddie was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xu Yi meant.
Xu Yi's eyes were fierce as he roared, "Control the Kingdom of Sorrow and ram it into the Black Abyss!"
