Part 8. The Sleepwalker 's ability to create dreams.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOe4fYHJWx
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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkHyqeChFX
"Um, okay, I totally don't understand, haha!" Toosb scratched his head awkwardly.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCMBLia1o5
Amisa asked, "What does 'DREAM' mean?"
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpugks5dIh
"'DREAM' is the awakened dream power, which is the imagination of a Sleepwalker," the wisdom caterpillar explained.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8twD8CYIk
Jasky took out his personal notebook. "I see. So, the Eye-See-Heart Key from the First Dust is about stimulating imagination?"
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKZDvUdIU2
"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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzc5KfSAJ2
"Oh! It's like being a god of creation!" Toosb said excitedly.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PLAxJOD37
"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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2JqZxZy0g
"Do we also need to follow rules when creating dreams?" Jasky furrowed his brow.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7KZHZcnIz
"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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVZMHMBWGW
"Got it," Jasky recorded the wisdom caterpillar's explanation in his notebook. The content was as follows:
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuArPIyA6c1
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc9ojaq7bV
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡricWsB9Uy9
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpeofHjQXx
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lahx4soHy
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!"
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE8ZcJkX8l
"These abilities... are a bit extreme..." but Jasky showed a smile full of excitement.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FJZH0sOcU
"My own creation of time and space... Was Time's Heart's Dream App created using Embellished Dream?" Amisa asked.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfqk4BCRcq
"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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmlGFmrMIq
"Can we choose our own system?" Jasky inquired.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvbE2jTSWD
"Unfortunately, Jasky, that's not possible. Dream creation comes from the subconscious, so it's up to the 'DREAM' within your hearts to decide."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh0vaQxeuL
"Alright! How do we awaken the 'DREAM' then?" Toosb raised his hand.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjaWTCUzNu
"It depends on your individual destiny. I can teach you knowledge, so you can face the invasion threat from the Hearts Strasbourg Fortress."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcKoF2g89C
"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?"
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o5gtA9oIl
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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygZ7yPdlSI
「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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kc8pl1MoR
"It sounds too exaggerated! It's hard to imagine..." Amisa shivered, feeling goosebumps all over her body.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNTGBvahCa
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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtb1gRqnQ3
"But at that time, I had a fight with Jasky, and also..." Amisa looked guilty as she glanced at Jasky's face.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrReGir3jSH
"I don't mind it anymore," Jasky said expressionlessly.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvsEX5neBb
"I told you! A little slap is nothing for a shy guy, hahahaha!"
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZC7MzAFKh
"Then can you let me punch you a few times?"
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0TSZmyTe5
"Wow, sorry!" Toosb nervously stood between Jasky and Amisa.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHojhuDZ8Ii
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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fhGqP3zkM
"Huh?" "What did you say?" "Will we die?"
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvk0nQUDjC
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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIP0hxUDwZ
"Well... I've already promised the Little Teacup Princess that we'll compete for the championship together in the finals," Amisa said.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LkrvQbv3E
"We're all in the top spot. I don't want to give up," Jasky stated.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQvwljwXWF
"Haha! I've always wanted to win the championship!" Toosb exclaimed happily.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEueicS1iH
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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahrEImLYu8
Amisa asked, "So where do we get these Dreamwalkers?"
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvtpWsVeFy
"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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCVil7WtHs
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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBZYptJ1DR
"Great! Amisa, Shy Guy, let's go!" Toosb exclaimed eagerly.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrJw0OjOwX
"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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQbtU4NaKq
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Pa6PzzpD
"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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshNaGLj8Id
"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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZgHuHLO9n
"Thank you, wisdom caterpillar!" Amisa bowed deeply.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4WMAJiPw9
"Now, what about this thing?" Jasky pointed at the Black Mirror.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglxLVzpOZ8
The wise caterpillar pondered for a moment and then looked at Amisa. "Amisa, where did you find it?"
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpdZODnJV8
"In the commoner's... a certain church..."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij7oOiPhcJ
"The Notre Lait Gâteau Cathedral? You might have to take it back and seal it there," the wise caterpillar said.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLGp22LdRZ
Amisa first froze, and then her face turned pale. "What? No way! Are you trying to get me killed?"
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknNamAav7X
"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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn6nTu67jP
"Why not seal it back at the cathedral first and then go to the castle?" Toosb asked.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vmlQALp0S
"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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTI85v3IDN
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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmCHMsbdFV
"I'll do my best!" Toosb said cheerfully.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5sOMm4yG5
"If everything goes smoothly," Jasky replied with a blank expression.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6NzkMvv5P
"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."
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmp7OBMRnd
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNNbTDoctl
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?"
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsPsHsAXOK
"Oh! We're leaving now, hahaha!" Toosb laughed happily.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dm8pxLZvC
"Yes, everything's fine now!" Though it wasn't her own voice, Amisa was delighted to be able to speak.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2jUyg1t31
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.
