Chapter 229 Her Dream (Part 2)
"Despicable. He is using a fabricated persona to guide public discourse and entice the real people to oppose us."
Dolly gritted her teeth. After so many years in the business world, such kidnapping tactics couldn't escape her notice.
By coercing the will of the people and using them as "weapons" against the gods, the gods are powerless to stop them.
This is also the source of Moses's confidence.
"Hmph? Despicable? I merely offered them the opportunity to see the deceased; they can wake up at any time!"
Dolly's words seemed to sting Moses, who coldly flicked his sleeves and retorted vehemently.
"I don't want to say goodbye to my partner forever, I don't want to see my family and friends again, so what's wrong with that? What's wrong with that?!"
"Grass God, if you understood humanity better, if you had experienced the pain of separation, you wouldn't..."
"you are wrong."
Moses' impassioned speech was interrupted, and he looked at the tiny deity with piercing eyes, his expression one of astonishment.
Nasita, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised her head. Her tone was still calm, but it was filled with unimaginable sorrow.
"In the upheaval five years ago, I, and we, won everything, and we lost everything."
The fine sand was smoothed by the waves washing ashore, and long-forgotten memories resurfaced, making his smile even clearer.
"Human nature is to avoid pain and embrace comfort for the sake of self-preservation."
"But they still have family, friends, and homes. Humans don't just live for themselves."
Behind them, Nil silently lowered her gaze, Dinazede turned her head, Dolly subconsciously touched her amethyst bracelet, Farusan gripped her bow and arrow, and Desia drew her greatsword.
Nasita smiled gently, and in that instant, something crystalline seemed to shimmer in the little god's four-leaf clover eyes.
"We will not be trapped by dreams because someone has shown us this with their life."
"He took away the source of the taboo and erased the memories of the past, not so that we would live in the past forever!"
“And you only showed them the most comfortable things. The dreams here are built on more unseen suffering, like Elleman!”
Ellerman was struck dumb. He looked up and met the god's piercing gaze, then looked away in shame.
There was no blame in Nasita's tone. She suddenly softened her tone and asked the middle-aged man a question.
“Ellerman, if only those chosen by Mr. Moses can enter this dream, then who is this ‘Heddar’ who has suddenly appeared before you?”
The question from the gods plunged Elleman into an icy abyss. He seemed to realize something, and his whole body began to tremble involuntarily.
If the Haida before us is a fake created by a dream, then where is the real Haida?
"It seems you've figured it out. Seeing her father suddenly fall into a coma and talk nonsense, the real her must be very worried, right?"
"Besides, it's the wilderness, and there are many monsters around there, so it's not safe at all."
Nasita's final words completely shattered Elleman's mental defenses. He stumbled through the crowd, and with this precedent, the already wavering crowd immediately crumbled.
Countless figures transformed into data and exited the dream, and Mosayis's calm expression finally became distorted.
"Hmph... Leave? Go ahead and leave! As long as this dream exists, you will definitely come back!"
"Grass God, people aren't as strong as you think. They won't obediently listen to you, not even gods!"
"It's time to clean up the data and noise!"
The scholar's refined expression was replaced by hysteria; he laughed maniacally, as if victory was assured or a death throes, oblivious to the compassion in the deity's expression.
He opened his hand, and countless demonic creatures emerged from the void. Everyone was startled and immediately assumed a fighting stance.
"Everyone be careful, it's a monster! Prepare for battle!"
Just as everyone was preparing for a fierce battle, things suddenly took an unexpected turn.
The number of summoned monsters increased uncontrollably. As the number of monsters continued to pile up, the dream's burden became unbearable, and chaos and collapse began to spread like a plague.
In the end, the characters created by the dream were gradually assimilated by the monsters, and the data entities experienced a large-scale loss of control.
"No! How could this be! This is my dream, I am the master of my dream, how could this happen!"
Panic finally showed on Mosayis's face. He looked at his hands in horror, trying to control the creation of the monster, but in the end it was all in vain.
The dream has gone out of control? What's going on? This shouldn't be happening!
The data entities' cries of agony rose and fell. Moses, as if waking from a dream, quickly turned and ran towards the flower shop on the side of the street.
Emil...no, the flower shop is just ahead!
The instant he turned the corner, he watched helplessly as Emil's body was mutated, and the body of the Beast Hound was generated within Emil's data body, taking her place.
In that instant, Moses' eyes felt like they were about to burst; he could hear the sound of his heart rupturing.
It's over, everything is over... Emil's data body is gone, ten years of hard work have been destroyed in an instant.
He killed her with his own hands, and killed her again.
His shouts were stuck in his throat, he made a gurgling sound, and collapsed to the ground, watching the hounds' claws come at him.
Despair and resentment surfaced in his eyes, but deep in his heart, there was also a trace of relief and peace.
Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad to die like this; at least he would be able to see Emil again, and hopefully she wouldn't have to wait too long.
The greatsword swept across, and with a sickening slicing sound, the beast hound's attack was precisely blocked.
“Dishia, the dream has gotten out of control. You take him away from here first, and I will stabilize the void and the intellect.”
Narcida stretched out her hand, and the power of grass elemental energy formed a barrier, keeping the swarming monsters outside.
Then, a narrow exit appeared behind them, a passage leading out of the dream and into reality.
“But, Lord Little Lucky Grass, you…”
Dina Zede looked a little uneasy. Nasita playfully blinked her four-leaf clover eyes and gently pushed her with her free little hand.
"Don't worry, I am the god of wisdom."
The girl sighed. She was right. They didn't understand how the Void Terminal worked, so staying wouldn't be of any help.
I hope everything goes well for Little Lucky Grass King.
Beside her, Dixia swiftly lifted the collapsed Mosayis, knocked him unconscious with a single slap, and hoisted him onto her shoulder.
But only the mercenary herself knows how much of this was due to personal grudges.
Then, carrying the unconscious Moses, they passed through the rift leading to reality and left the deep dream.
After Farusan, who was at the rear, disappeared into the rift, only Nasita remained on the vast plaza, besides the densely packed monsters.
She withdrew her hand, and the barrier vanished.
The grass elemental power slowly dissipated, and the attacking monsters, like puppets that had lost their power, fell silent one by one.
Collapsed stone pillars, burned-out houses—once again, the dream was plunged into a deathly silence.
"After hiding for so long and interfering with the dream, it's time to come out and meet us."
Naxida turned around, her tone revealing complexity.
A soft sigh rang out, and a petite figure slowly appeared on the previously empty fountain sculpture.
“Annie.”
