Part 8. The Sleepwalker 's ability to create dreams.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAyjFOFCych8
Wisdom caterpillar spat out tiny figurines and waved its hands, conjuring various special effects as if casting magic. "Sleepwalkers, also known as Dream Travelers, need to have the courage to defy conventional wisdom and possess boundless imagination. Once you activate the 'DREAM' within your hearts, you can use dream devices to unleash your power of creation."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAyV0FdKnKmK
"Um, okay, I totally don't understand, haha!" Toosb scratched his head awkwardly.
133Please respect copyright.PENANA7GKOI06PEL
Amisa asked, "What does 'DREAM' mean?"
133Please respect copyright.PENANACNkBQgNxqn
"'DREAM' is the awakened dream power, which is the imagination of a Sleepwalker," the wisdom caterpillar explained.
133Please respect copyright.PENANA9d3HBHzoyT
Jasky took out his personal notebook. "I see. So, the Eye-See-Heart Key from the First Dust is about stimulating imagination?"
133Please respect copyright.PENANADBoS60RjvU
"Yes, Jasky. The dream power that each dream spirit possesses allows them to perform specific actions. But the power of a Sleepwalker can connect anything imaginable and create things out of thin air. Powerful Sleepwalkers can do anything in the dream realm."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAiwQKqbAguM
"Oh! It's like being a god of creation!" Toosb said excitedly.
133Please respect copyright.PENANA68DpHPSe77
"That's right, Toosb. As long as you abide by the rules of the Dream Caverns, you're free to explore your imagination," the wisdom caterpillar confirmed.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAI0YbeWfoy6
"Do we also need to follow rules when creating dreams?" Jasky furrowed his brow.
133Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZvA1E4Ro4
"Yes, even dreams that seem illogical have their own set of rules. Even in dream creation, you must adhere to four fundamental principles. Let me explain, and then Jasky, please demonstrate your abilities."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAsPpC54eUSH
"Got it," Jasky recorded the wisdom caterpillar's explanation in his notebook. The content was as follows:
133Please respect copyright.PENANAdpWQ8ydHHO
dream formation Displacement:Adhere to the combination of two or more dream materials; Sleepwalkers can directly use all objects on-site as dream material, also known as Dream Alchemy.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAhQLVPC4Oq4
dream formation Condensation Follow the transmission principle; Sleepwalkers can transfer or synchronize the spirit of any memory character from their subconscious, obtaining their appearance and abilities, also known as Spiritual Disguise.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAXuwi4tlCvp
dream formation Symbolization:Follow the transformation principle of emotional dream power; Sleepwalkers can transform dream devices into various forms based on their various emotions, also known as the Versatile Dream Device.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAJKq0LxzC5L
dream formation Secondary Revision:Follow the principle of dream realm integration; Sleepwalkers can use the Dream Caverns and dream power to create new time and space, also known as Space-Time Creation.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAk90FyiiT2r
Toosb said excitedly, "Wow, this is a bit exaggerated! The first one is like being a god of creation, the second one is playing cosplay, the third one is having a versatile tool, and the fourth one is... a... time traveler!"
133Please respect copyright.PENANA5uS38ZIYXo
"These abilities... are a bit extreme..." but Jasky showed a smile full of excitement.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAeg3sQAAVsW
"My own creation of time and space... Was Time's Heart's Dream App created using Embellished Dream?" Amisa asked.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAhQz10H8fRM
"That's a reasonable assumption, Amisa. However, creating a dream realm requires unique dream power, and as far as I know, only Time possessed such power. Most Sleepwalkers focus on the first three principles, but that is enough to showcase their abilities."
133Please respect copyright.PENANADNbGIUw7mr
"Can we choose our own system?" Jasky inquired.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAXOkjamUIPS
"Unfortunately, Jasky, that's not possible. Dream creation comes from the subconscious, so it's up to the 'DREAM' within your hearts to decide."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAdJsZRplutz
"Alright! How do we awaken the 'DREAM' then?" Toosb raised his hand.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAbekFs6zu71
"It depends on your individual destiny. I can teach you knowledge, so you can face the invasion threat from the Hearts Strasbourg Fortress."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAlfW0VaTA3h
"Um... I have a question," Amisa raised her left hand halfway. "Can't we talk to the Queen of Hearts and find a peaceful solution?"
133Please respect copyright.PENANACmlH3nsRia
The wisdom caterpillar smiled gently. "Amisa, that is a noble thought. However, the situation is much more complex than it seems. The conflict between the Kingdom of Hearts and White Castle involves deep-rooted political and racial issues. The Hearts Strasbourg Fortress was built in response to the execution of the Red Queen and seeks to avenge her death. There's a history of animosity between the two kingdoms that has led to the current tense situation. While talking and finding peaceful resolutions is commendable, it may not be enough to resolve the underlying issues at hand."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAQGe5Raz3uu
「I've heard that the Hearts Strasbourg Fortress has exceptionally well-trained poker soldiers, and that dragon, Jaberwalky, is an unprecedentedly powerful creature. They say its wingspan is 20 feet long, and its lightning breath can instantly incinerate thousands of chess soldiers," Jasky explained.
133Please respect copyright.PENANA2EBwT0VutO
"It sounds too exaggerated! It's hard to imagine..." Amisa shivered, feeling goosebumps all over her body.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAinlercNcaT
The wisdom caterpillar sighed and continued, "If Time and Alice were here, maybe they could have fought against Jabberwocky. Without the Hoelex secret organization of Sleepwalkers, we have no negotiating power. We can only gamble on the chance that you, the new Sleepwalkers, possess. When I saw you successfully complete the Five Dust Trials even amidst the negative conflicts caused by the Black Mirror, I knew that the Heart's Dream App didn't choose the wrong people."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAsIO4rYhEMV
"But at that time, I had a fight with Jasky, and also..." Amisa looked guilty as she glanced at Jasky's face.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAMFM9fO9Whv
"I don't mind it anymore," Jasky said expressionlessly.
133Please respect copyright.PENANABF6QnNhSLf
"I told you! A little slap is nothing for a shy guy, hahahaha!"
133Please respect copyright.PENANAxeo6Wqemg2
"Then can you let me punch you a few times?"
133Please respect copyright.PENANAEkAcRiEDaI
"Wow, sorry!" Toosb nervously stood between Jasky and Amisa.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAunifQzs8Rf
The wise caterpillar nodded in satisfaction, "If one of you can win the championship, I believe there's a chance to change the situation. However, the Black Feather won't give up easily, and if it does turn into a war... there might be someone among us who sacrifices."
133Please respect copyright.PENANA8ax4AZgVqH
"Huh?" "What did you say?" "Will we die?"
133Please respect copyright.PENANAGytRvzswKP
Everyone stopped moving, feeling tense. The wise caterpillar smiled slightly, "No one will if there's no war. You're all A-rankers now, and if you learn dream creation, the championship will be within your grasp. So, I earnestly request your assistance."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAoSNXSpDFWw
"Well... I've already promised the Little Teacup Princess that we'll compete for the championship together in the finals," Amisa said.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAcXSWqbyylB
"We're all in the top spot. I don't want to give up," Jasky stated.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAoIIogGOlLT
"Haha! I've always wanted to win the championship!" Toosb exclaimed happily.
133Please respect copyright.PENANARfu1Q1A9Bb
The widdom Caterpillar looked relieved and said, "On behalf of all the dream spirits in the collective dream realm, I express my utmost gratitude to you. However, right now, you don't possess the abilities of Sleepwalkers yet. To gain those abilities, you must obtain your own unique Dreamwalkers, not the ones given by others. These are like tokens that connect to your innermost being and can awaken the hidden DREAM within you."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAV3F5SP0uRQ
Amisa asked, "So where do we get these Dreamwalkers?"
133Please respect copyright.PENANAz53jkooJGN
"Head to the White Castle Royal Chef, Mr. Bagel Recipe. He is also the Dreamwalker maker. You need to go find him and have your crystal balls made into Dreamwalkers, which are essential materials for crafting them."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAQh6ZwYne97
The three of them picked up their crystal balls and inspected them. The wise caterpillar continued, "The Eiffel Cake Tower is located at the very end of the Macaron Dessert Market. You can follow the path through the noble residential area and back to the tablecloth patchwork street to find the entrance to the Macaron Dessert Market. Once you get your Dreamwalkers, Mr. Bagel Recipe will teach you how to use them."
133Please respect copyright.PENANALFPa0zUdYf
"Great! Amisa, Shy Guy, let's go!" Toosb exclaimed eagerly.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAzq850AFIpq
"Wait a moment!" Amisa pointed to her throat. "widsom caterpillar, I'll be continuing to participate in the talent competition here, and my singing is essential. I need to know how to restore my voice."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6IA2XS0xU
The wise caterpillar nodded and said, "Don't worry, Amisa. I haven't forgotten about your problem. I have some information about your voice loss from the mentor group, but it's not something common. I need more time to research it. However, don't fret; I've prepared a temporary solution for you~" The wise caterpillar handed Amisa a heart-shaped pendant, and she accepted it gratefully.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAcLvpLjaPrs
"This pendant stores some of my dream power. As long as you wear it, you can use dream power to project your voice, just like now," the wise caterpillar explained.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAQNnkEITUSz
"Really?" Amisa was thrilled as she put on the pendant. The wise caterpillar added, "However, this is only temporary. Dream power will deplete eventually. You must obtain your Dreamwalker and learn how to use dream power transmission as soon as possible, at least until I find out the cause."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAIhaNIjtU3N
"Thank you, wisdom caterpillar!" Amisa bowed deeply.
133Please respect copyright.PENANA7djWOLZKOY
"Now, what about this thing?" Jasky pointed at the Black Mirror.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAxUF6CUsFKw
The wise caterpillar pondered for a moment and then looked at Amisa. "Amisa, where did you find it?"
133Please respect copyright.PENANAQAAQiQwEL7
"In the commoner's... a certain church..."
133Please respect copyright.PENANATHlwo573rk
"The Notre Lait Gâteau Cathedral? You might have to take it back and seal it there," the wise caterpillar said.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAuKskmae9b8
Amisa first froze, and then her face turned pale. "What? No way! Are you trying to get me killed?"
133Please respect copyright.PENANAXxr2Elm9qf
"Rest assured!" The wise caterpillar pointed at Amisa's smartphone. "The Heart's Dream App has Time's time dream power left behind. I used my dream power transmission to temporarily suppress the Black Mirror's command. But my dream power is limited. You must get your Dreamwalker first and then seal it back at the cathedral before going to the fortress."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAkcqhcX4ZoK
"Why not seal it back at the cathedral first and then go to the castle?" Toosb asked.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAWtNzZTkoEP
"There have been recent reports of kidnappings within the White Castle. If the Black Feather is inside, they might take advantage and steal the Black Mirror. The consequences would be unimaginable. Before you go back to the cathedral, you need to have the strength to resist them. In any case, wait until you have your Dreamwalkers," the wise caterpillar advised.
133Please respect copyright.PENANANkIHBsytNi
The wise caterpillar resealed the Black Mirror and handed it back to Amisa, assuring her that everything was fine. With a determined look, Amisa placed the sealed Black Mirror in her pocket and said, "I will win the championship."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAS2SVBidRYC
"I'll do my best!" Toosb said cheerfully.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAfcgivAo6JQ
"If everything goes smoothly," Jasky replied with a blank expression.
133Please respect copyright.PENANA53MwbcwRpJ
"Just believe that everything will go smoothly," the wise caterpillar said, waving its water pipe and opening the door of the bookcase. "I wish you all the best."
133Please respect copyright.PENANAwk1rPYticy
The three of them were enveloped in a beam of light and, when they regained their senses, they were at the entrance counter of Maslow's Dream Bookstore.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAOMemtzAwux
The manager, David, stood in front of them and asked warmly, "Welcome to Maslow's Dream Bookstore. I'm David. We have sections for the Kingdom's history, dream power learning, codes and regulations, and everyday applications. Which category of books are you looking for?"
133Please respect copyright.PENANAgx9pGw4u4m
"Oh! We're leaving now, hahaha!" Toosb laughed happily.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAyP4YBTZLkg
"Yes, everything's fine now!" Though it wasn't her own voice, Amisa was delighted to be able to speak.
133Please respect copyright.PENANA4aNsdPNQ1G
The three of them gained a whole new understanding of the collective dream realm, and now they were about to embark on their heartdream mission as dreamwalkers in this new identity.
