Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Let time rewind a little.
The moment Adrian entered the secret chamber.
Good Duck had already foreseen that two other versions of itself were about to appear.
—The complete Power of Destruction must never fall into Adrian’s hands!
Now then.
Next.
A battle is likely to erupt.
In this situation, neither Shen Ye of the Eternal Remnant nor Shen Ye from the Multi-layered Universe is convenient to do one thing.
—Test the Power of Laws.
Indeed.
Xiao Mengyu helped me awaken the Laws ahead of time!
I must quickly investigate how useful this power really is.
—In battle, being able to mobilize the laws and not being able to mobilize them are two very different outcomes!
So.
The moment Adrian appeared—
Good Duck quietly slid off the table and squatted on the Dragon Girl’s lap.
It hid its beak among its feathers, curled up its body, closed its eyes, and seemed to fall into a deep slumber.
If anyone else did such a thing, it would be quite odd.
—Everyone is having a meeting, and you’re sleeping on a woman’s lap?
But when it came to Duck—
No one said anything; some even thought it was perfectly normal.
—Pets sleeping is too common!
The female professional beside it couldn’t resist wanting to reach out and pet Duck, but Dragon Girl stopped her hand.
“It’s asleep.”
Dragon Girl quietly warned the other.
The person awkwardly withdrew her hand.
Good Duck pretended to nap, concentrating intensely as it began to survey its own power.
“Strange… What is this…”
Good Duck suddenly realized it could use the Dream Realm Rules.
Very quickly.
It understood.
The King of Dreams, Ullric, had lifted the restrictions on the Dream Realm!
—He was originally an opponent of the Saints who monopolized the laws, a Dawn Breaker.
With Old John’s death, he regained control and simply fully released the Dream Realm Rules!
Good.
Quite convenient for me, Duck!
Good Duck boldly created a Dream World, its consciousness sinking into dreams, beginning to inspect its power.
“Laws.”
It muttered.
Like Xu Xingke and Panda Tie Nan—
Countless phantasmal shadows appeared before it, gathering and forming into a gigantic, heaven-connecting door.
It’s a gate!
My laws should be related to gates!
This is not surprising.
Good Duck took a deep breath, imitating Xu Xingke and Panda, pressing its wing against the door.
A light spot suddenly emerged on the door:
“Your Law Tree has been born.”
“Currently, you have received the following initial law:”
“Heavenly God Sensing.”
“Description: Your gate power connects with existences beyond distant world barriers for perception and communication.”
Good Duck pondered slightly.
This law…
Actually doesn’t belong to the combat category.
To be honest.
The ability to pierce barriers is extremely rare.
This law directly bypasses barriers, allowing you to perceive conditions on the other side.
It’s still somewhat useful.
In various adventures, this law can be quite effective.
But—
I can’t use it now!
A fight is about to break out.
A sensing-type law is completely useless!
Good Duck was a bit disappointed, about to sigh, then suddenly remembered something.
—Right.
I am now a “Holy Songstress.”
Can the power of the entry apply to the Law Tree, enhancing my laws by two levels?
Exactly!
Definitely worth a try!
Good Duck got excited again and immediately activated the entry.
Faintly glowing small letters appeared:
“You used the pink entry ‘Holy Songstress’.”
“Currently, your law ability ‘Heavenly God Sensing’ has been enhanced by two levels, reaching the Third Order, named as:”
“Demon King Possession.”
“Description: The Demon King from the Otherworld will pierce the barrier and directly descend upon you.”
“—The Third Order laws are sufficient to summon it, it has waited long enough!”
What—
Why summon the Demon King?
Good Duck was a bit confused about the situation.
But it had no time to think.
Rumble—
The gate slowly opened.
A humanoid Faceless One surrounded by dark intense flames, wearing a black crown, wielding a short staff, soared over.
“Finally—”
“Mortals, your greed has granted me freedom, and my freedom will bring you an extremely disastrous fate!”
This humanoid Faceless One solemnly announced, raising the staff high, slowly descending.
The staff aimed at Good Duck.
Silent for one breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
The mythical flame-like humanoid Faceless One emitted a very low voice:
“Why… is it a duck…”
Duck!
Good Duck was shocked.
This guy knew I was a duck.
Duck is the term humans use for this species of Anatidae family, Anas genus birds.
So—
The other party must be in some way connected to human civilization!
“Great one, who are you?”
Good Duck asked.
“Why is it a duck, where are the humans?” The entity asked impatiently.
Humans?
This Dream World was jointly created by myself, Charlotte, and Chaos Ship.
No humans!
The faceless one wreathed in dark intense flames surveyed the surroundings and returned in front of Duck.
“Duck… you must have practiced that swordsmanship…”
Its tone carried disbelief.
“Ah yes, I indeed know swordsmanship but why can my Power of Laws summon you?” Good Duck asked.
“First tell me, where did that swordsmanship come from?”
“I don’t know.”
“Don’t lie.”
“I really don’t know, Duck!” Good Duck said, aggrieved.
“…Alright, your words seem to be true, what could I assist you with? What is your ideal?” The other asked.
Good Duck’s eyes flashed.
Something’s not right.
You just said “Mortals, your greed has granted me freedom, and my freedom will bring you an extremely disastrous fate”.
