Part 8. The Sleepwalker 's ability to create dreams.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlQthM72nx
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDNOItg2Da
Amisa asked, "What does 'DREAM' mean?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGBne0kPTh
"'DREAM' is the awakened dream power, which is the imagination of a Sleepwalker," the wisdom caterpillar explained.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVotkpdrVU
Jasky took out his personal notebook. "I see. So, the Eye-See-Heart Key from the First Dust is about stimulating imagination?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53gS8PWmTE
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1BSkVicuC
"Oh! It's like being a god of creation!" Toosb said excitedly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomiVD8soBI
"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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvopFHQKIWZ
"Do we also need to follow rules when creating dreams?" Jasky furrowed his brow.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLHIlSf9Lg
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UDpahDGHf
"Got it," Jasky recorded the wisdom caterpillar's explanation in his notebook. The content was as follows:
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ELQ5vwSFy
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGZp9RsF2f
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUZ5P2acnh
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf203TOqy66
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ511vkOCnng
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!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62FVZMI1OG
"These abilities... are a bit extreme..." but Jasky showed a smile full of excitement.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHPcVprmAa
"My own creation of time and space... Was Time's Heart's Dream App created using Embellished Dream?" Amisa asked.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt4xYUHgoF
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2yrNBbC95
"Can we choose our own system?" Jasky inquired.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RenyBZqlK
"Unfortunately, Jasky, that's not possible. Dream creation comes from the subconscious, so it's up to the 'DREAM' within your hearts to decide."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e8X7PrQMV
"Alright! How do we awaken the 'DREAM' then?" Toosb raised his hand.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JEYrYJJds
"It depends on your individual destiny. I can teach you knowledge, so you can face the invasion threat from the Hearts Strasbourg Fortress."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WGgyElwFG
"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?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesDDUsLRWP
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IAEaI95oY
「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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMkzdZIfT3
"It sounds too exaggerated! It's hard to imagine..." Amisa shivered, feeling goosebumps all over her body.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHXKkFLCsh
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCGQZqtlv0
"But at that time, I had a fight with Jasky, and also..." Amisa looked guilty as she glanced at Jasky's face.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIXky3SE7d
"I don't mind it anymore," Jasky said expressionlessly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQfqiYOfDj
"I told you! A little slap is nothing for a shy guy, hahahaha!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo4uoNLasD
"Then can you let me punch you a few times?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA2v36trfm
"Wow, sorry!" Toosb nervously stood between Jasky and Amisa.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYNFCBtTXB
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4fUDD1U1a
"Huh?" "What did you say?" "Will we die?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJANWdetk5Z
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDezHEDxhm
"Well... I've already promised the Little Teacup Princess that we'll compete for the championship together in the finals," Amisa said.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumK6gYhJg1
"We're all in the top spot. I don't want to give up," Jasky stated.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHeosU215Y
"Haha! I've always wanted to win the championship!" Toosb exclaimed happily.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkfZwogTWB
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFTYv4zc3s
Amisa asked, "So where do we get these Dreamwalkers?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8arKOXjITY
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XABN6CvfF
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f5Xc34yRG
"Great! Amisa, Shy Guy, let's go!" Toosb exclaimed eagerly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhluhUPREhW
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNDHiFHr95
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeWJqYdWOl
"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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKhLEGkt3m
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD5vuwOntr
"Thank you, wisdom caterpillar!" Amisa bowed deeply.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPKdarnZG2
"Now, what about this thing?" Jasky pointed at the Black Mirror.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBtx1zzpf7
The wise caterpillar pondered for a moment and then looked at Amisa. "Amisa, where did you find it?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkvBles6iS
"In the commoner's... a certain church..."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOPQa2SUoh
"The Notre Lait Gâteau Cathedral? You might have to take it back and seal it there," the wise caterpillar said.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HL7pgeEBb
Amisa first froze, and then her face turned pale. "What? No way! Are you trying to get me killed?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFHxZQO5mw
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFQMDGhbVw
"Why not seal it back at the cathedral first and then go to the castle?" Toosb asked.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlTwtVGWp1
"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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsKQLskDOv
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdCNQlZjcY
"I'll do my best!" Toosb said cheerfully.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRccau5SX1S
"If everything goes smoothly," Jasky replied with a blank expression.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFbe4ANY3m
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGZpDpL4pl
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0aBAesrJn
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?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Q6zo8EIv
"Oh! We're leaving now, hahaha!" Toosb laughed happily.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zlh3Cupbe
"Yes, everything's fine now!" Though it wasn't her own voice, Amisa was delighted to be able to speak.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKn9ykOgrP
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.
