Part 8. The Sleepwalker 's ability to create dreams.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsg4aFVLwg
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIudtmOp0o
Amisa asked, "What does 'DREAM' mean?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhJRWbtvgT
"'DREAM' is the awakened dream power, which is the imagination of a Sleepwalker," the wisdom caterpillar explained.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXeEAMJvtj
Jasky took out his personal notebook. "I see. So, the Eye-See-Heart Key from the First Dust is about stimulating imagination?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6z0ZHC2OD
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPQR8sUPOb
"Oh! It's like being a god of creation!" Toosb said excitedly.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7vC2XGhzd
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPaahKkMS1
"Do we also need to follow rules when creating dreams?" Jasky furrowed his brow.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF8GHyqrOB
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhUIeL9duR
"Got it," Jasky recorded the wisdom caterpillar's explanation in his notebook. The content was as follows:
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjA5jr6zhd
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpslNqwWjP
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE9OaMgwFg
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGTs3RZyD2
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0eMiciloH
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!"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2v7jG8svK
"These abilities... are a bit extreme..." but Jasky showed a smile full of excitement.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cs4S816ud
"My own creation of time and space... Was Time's Heart's Dream App created using Embellished Dream?" Amisa asked.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC2be64yH2
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJV4GCQJl0
"Can we choose our own system?" Jasky inquired.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9YEq5EUc6
"Unfortunately, Jasky, that's not possible. Dream creation comes from the subconscious, so it's up to the 'DREAM' within your hearts to decide."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI7EfuJZCj
"Alright! How do we awaken the 'DREAM' then?" Toosb raised his hand.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltIthbpERL
"It depends on your individual destiny. I can teach you knowledge, so you can face the invasion threat from the Hearts Strasbourg Fortress."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqs0Jr61uV
"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?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLaVoyGpP9
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S0vZZjMG4
「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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB3r0fBkaa
"It sounds too exaggerated! It's hard to imagine..." Amisa shivered, feeling goosebumps all over her body.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIt6WsnIsx
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXDt5K5x2G
"But at that time, I had a fight with Jasky, and also..." Amisa looked guilty as she glanced at Jasky's face.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvl52hsRBI
"I don't mind it anymore," Jasky said expressionlessly.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQZvBNcrts
"I told you! A little slap is nothing for a shy guy, hahahaha!"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMPqNer80E
"Then can you let me punch you a few times?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfymH61mti
"Wow, sorry!" Toosb nervously stood between Jasky and Amisa.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JlFcWUz2b
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnEz12ukNg
"Huh?" "What did you say?" "Will we die?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3khWLaIho
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphB73qkyrh
"Well... I've already promised the Little Teacup Princess that we'll compete for the championship together in the finals," Amisa said.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrTaC0sxNm
"We're all in the top spot. I don't want to give up," Jasky stated.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9BxTacjVB
"Haha! I've always wanted to win the championship!" Toosb exclaimed happily.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFyXq5yCG1
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkGEcls9tB
Amisa asked, "So where do we get these Dreamwalkers?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5lpHNDyHN
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUqOW9lnVN
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2gMOvy7j8
"Great! Amisa, Shy Guy, let's go!" Toosb exclaimed eagerly.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IlQwmQcqy
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7dt3OKqaY
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFnqCfABkG
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtOeRthJ6n
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdUKBfMKA7
"Thank you, wisdom caterpillar!" Amisa bowed deeply.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp0C1gUKVb
"Now, what about this thing?" Jasky pointed at the Black Mirror.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwJfAqjYfU
The wise caterpillar pondered for a moment and then looked at Amisa. "Amisa, where did you find it?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdcDHaeWGX
"In the commoner's... a certain church..."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJgjI1I15q
"The Notre Lait Gâteau Cathedral? You might have to take it back and seal it there," the wise caterpillar said.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgjUqPN71f
Amisa first froze, and then her face turned pale. "What? No way! Are you trying to get me killed?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7yMlq7QZq
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBstiLKvWKu
"Why not seal it back at the cathedral first and then go to the castle?" Toosb asked.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSuO9bTjv7
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKY5TpDwv6
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4OMIxAz6e
"I'll do my best!" Toosb said cheerfully.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYhHJshWbZ
"If everything goes smoothly," Jasky replied with a blank expression.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7cdSFKLqP
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDbZ4KpQpZ
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi14rNbBRV
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?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd4f724E7H
"Oh! We're leaving now, hahaha!" Toosb laughed happily.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvWz3kDDCJ
"Yes, everything's fine now!" Though it wasn't her own voice, Amisa was delighted to be able to speak.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRysLsoZry
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.
