Chapter 474: Chapter 410: Nightmare of Nightmares

No one can dream anymore? What does that mean?

Looking at his empty shell body, created from hundreds of nightmares, disappearing in front of him with a cluster of beetles, the Gray Mist Giant couldn’t help but tremble all over, his eyes wide with fear as he angrily demanded:

"What did you do?! Where did you send those damn bugs?!"

"I told you, it’s a big gift for you!"

Recalling the time after Anna, step by step, lost all his family and could only sit lifelessly on the bed, not even having the courage to open an album, Leon, his eyes red, looked up at the Gray Mist Giant in front of him and said word by word:

"When I say I’m giving you a gift, naturally, I’ve sent it to your home. Where else would it go?"

"..."

My home... Nightmare River? You sent those bugs, capable of devouring dreams and infinitely multiplying, into my Nightmare River?!

"Are you insane?!!!"

Hearing Leon personally admit what he had done, the King of Nightmares roared furiously:

"You madman! Do you know what you’ve done?!"

"Change it back! Quickly, change it back for me!!!"

"The Nightmare River is full of countless nightmares! Do you know that if those bugs get into the Nightmare River, in less than half a day, they’ll turn into billions! More than half of the Dream World will be eaten!"

"They will even eat all the way from the Dream World to Reality! So many bugs that even your Clean-up Bureau won’t be able to stop them! If you don’t stop now, humans will never dream again!"

"Ha ha... not my problem!"

Having suffered an immense stimulus at the hands of the King of Nightmares, and with the effects of the "Drunken Life, Dreamy Death" not yet worn off, Leon was far from rational, barely able to control himself.

Facing the mad roars of the King of Nightmares, he let out a cold laugh and immediately retorted without the slightest hesitation:

"No dreams, so be it! Not dreaming at night won’t kill anyone!"

"No! No! This can’t be!"

"Madman! You damn madman!"

Seeing the determination not to stop in Leon’s resolute gaze, the frantic Gray Mist Giant cursed in fury and immediately turned around, trying to rush out of the six-fold nightmare, aiming to eliminate as many bugs as possible before the [Dream-Eater Mutant Shell] could spread, however...

"Don’t bother."

Flashing the back of his right hand, showing the already vanished archer’s mark to the King of Nightmares, in the terrifying gaze of the Gray Mist Giant, Leon asked with delight:

"Do you want to guess where I used the last archer’s secret technique?"

"?!"

Dream-Eater Mutant Shell?!!!

Understanding the unmistakable answer from Leon’s eyes, the Gray Mist Giant felt as if his mind was struck, as if someone had ripped open his skull and hammered a massive ton-heavy blow inside, making his vision spin.

You damn... not only did you send [Dream-Eater Mutant Shell] into the Nightmare River, but you even reinforced them with the archer’s secret technique?!! You... you... I...

"I’ll kill you!!!"

Realizing everything was over, the King of Nightmares roared and pounced back, intending to smash Leon into paste, but since the time of [Immortal in Liquor] wasn’t up, no matter how he attacked, the result remained unchanged.

After venting with a furious pounding, feeling the Nightmare River rapidly disappearing at a terrifying speed, the Gray Mist Giant dropped to the ground with a thud, despair filling his eyes as he howled:

"It’s over... everything is over!"

"Nightmare River... Demonic Soul Abyss... Dream World... all of it is done!!!"

"You madman! You are a total madman! Why did I provoke you?"

"Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!"

Amidst the cries of the regretful Gray Mist Giant, a familiar buzzing sounded once more in Leon’s ear.

"Zzz..."

[Your extreme madness has cast an enormous psychological shadow on the King of Nightmares, the Lord of Nightmares, successfully activating the hidden Golden Badge "Nightmare of Nightmares"]

[Nightmare of Nightmares: Extremely mad and completely reckless, willing to destroy a world for momentary satisfaction, you have become the most terrifying nightmare in the King of Nightmares’ heart]

[Wear Effect: Deeply feared by the Lord of Nightmares, you are now above all nightmares, with no nightmare qualified to affect you anymore]

[Advanced Route: None]

[Hidden Feature (Unworn): As an ultimate villain intending to destroy the entire Dream World, your infamous reputation will echo throughout the Dream World, and all Dream Realm Creatures below True God level will feel immense fear when facing you]

...

Is this... Scorpio Branch’s [Dream-Eater Mutant Shell]?

Watching the countless Black Gold Beetles with flapping wings, feasting in the Nightmare River, the red-haired chief was momentarily stunned, a flash of irritation in his eyes.

This thing can infinitely split after devouring dreams! It’s one thing to let it loose in the capital, but throwing it directly into the Nightmare River makes it impossible to recover. What the hell is that Edward doing?!

Unaware that these [Dream-Eater Mutant Shell] were the result of Leon flipping the table in rage after being broken mentally by the King of Nightmares.

Seeing tens of thousands multiply in the blink of an eye, following the Nightmare River into the Dream World, leaving no trace of dreams wherever they passed, the red-haired chief cursed Scorpio Bureau’s recklessness while collecting the spread [Slaughter Blood Hair].

When [Dream-Eater Mutant Shell] entered the Nightmare River, the nightmares appointed by the King of Nightmares, intending to invade reality with it, could no longer do so.

These extremely troublesome beetles may not devour Dream Realm Creatures or directly kill nightmares trying to invade reality, but they devour the dreams accompanying those nightmares.

Without an accompanying dream, the nightmares are like a tiger without fangs and claws, rendered harmless, and even average strong humans could overcome them unless they were those born with a massively huge body type.

If unable to return to the Dream World in time, when the daylight comes and the sun shines, these nightmares will completely dissipate in the sunlight, leaving them no time to escape, and surely they won’t think of charging into reality anymore.

However, while this resolves the massive nightmare invasion issue, the Dream World will eventually suffer significant damage, potentially impacting reality.

The Dream World, composed of memories and fantasies, is also a source of art and inspiration. After this disastrous "bug catastrophe," aside from the massive disappearance of dreams, the world’s artistic creation is likely to plunge into a long period of low tide...

Considering the potential consequences caused by these beetles, the red-haired chief couldn’t help but rub his forehead.

The headache... It’s barely the start of the year, and such a big thing has happened. This year’s probably going to be another bottom line.

The only consolation is that Leon shouldn’t be in any danger; the hair I gave him shows no sign of death around it, proving he is still safe... Huh? How come it seems there’s one more than before?
