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."

"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.
