Chapter 886 What the Dream Weaver Cherishes

This was once the most desirable country in the Dreamland.

Here, there is no passage of time, no aging, no disease, no death or despair. If you are fortunate enough to become a member of Os-Nargue, then music and fine wine will always accompany you.

...

However, as it turns out, even the most powerful dreamers, with their unrestrained imaginations, find it difficult to create a true paradise on earth.

The Eternal Kingdom is a microcosm of this.

Their eternity comes at a price, not only for the crystals that constantly consume the order of death, but also for the mission these people bear—to guard the westernmost part of this continent without end.

The objects of their watch are the fearless conquerors and the terrifying abyss behind the land of exile.

...

Perhaps the gods already knew that this place would one day become the origin of calamity.

Thus, the first line of defense against calamity was the remnants of the people who refused to submit, and it was also a chance to see if their bloodline of conquerors had truly withered away.

And then there is this pampered, eternal kingdom.

They continuously nourished the city with strange crystals, and even placed a weak deity there, bestowing upon this land legitimacy, joy, and eternity.

It appears to be an unparalleled blessing.

In reality, it's not about relying on these incompetent eternal inhabitants to defend against calamities or the remnants. The true second line of defense is actually those strange crystals that are united and placed in various lighthouses and high walls. After absorbing enough crystals from the Eternal Kingdom, they will evolve into death crystals. These black crystals, which can cause death by curse if you get too close, are the second line of defense.

……

But today, not only were the city walls demolished, but all the surrounding death crystals were also destroyed.

The eternal name of the eternal kingdom no longer exists.

All the residents here have noticed it; it's a feeling called "ordinary".

Some people felt lost and disappointed, while others remained unusually calm.

Eternity does not bring them only unchanging joy; in this kingdom, suffering is also eternal.

Like Pinkerton, the old chief of the cat brigade, it sat in that tavern for over a hundred years, and no one knew how it had endured those potentially fatal injuries for all those years, yet it could not die...

...

However, Milo didn't consider the feelings of these permanent residents, nor did he consider whether what he did was right. Anyway, the demolition was already done, and no one could do anything to him.

Ultimately, he still stood on the side of the survivors.

Because Kang was on the side of the loyalists.

Moreover, there were indeed people among the survivors who had been "bewitched" by the Scarlet Witch and worshipped the Shadow; they were all her followers.

Therefore, Milo could not watch his people move from one forbidden land to another prison of immortality.

Kang probably didn't want to see this either, because he was tormented by the curse of "immortality" at that moment.

...

……

The Death Crystal shattered around the kingdom.

The complete disappearance of matter, representing eternity, also signifies the return of the eternal kingdom to freedom.

...

On a small boat by the sea, a permanent resident cautiously stretched his hand beyond the boundaries of the lighthouse's designated area. Nothing unusual happened. The man's face was filled with astonishment and fear, but even more so with excitement.

Os-Nargay.

King Kurans knelt and wept on the left side of the huge V-shaped gap in the city wall.

But he wasn't crying because the country had been stripped of its eternal name.

His sobs carried a long-lost sense of relief and liberation.

...

"Wow—" "Ahhh...it's finally over..."

"What eternity... what eternity is this..."

"It's all a scam, self-deception..."

"Woooo..."

"it is finally over……"

“My Os-Nargai…”

"How many years they robbed us of, exactly how many years, I've lost count..."

...

King Kurans wept like a child, venting his emotions.

He counted on his fingers, cursing all the gods on Mount Kadas, reciting them as if they were his own treasures, leaving none unpunished.

He accused those in power of appropriating the country he had painstakingly created.

...

In fact, when Os-Nargai was created by Kurans, it did not possess any so-called eternal power.

In his dream, this place was simply a beautiful, poetic country, nothing more.

That so-called eternity was imposed on Os-Nargai by the gods.

The gods, according to their own needs and desires, successfully transformed this kingdom, one of the mysterious cities, into the form they had imagined, while the dream conjured up by the naive dreamer was ruthlessly trampled under their feet.

...

Milo was not a dream weaver; he was a visionary deprived of the right to dream, a sinner.

Perhaps he will never understand what this city, created entirely through imagination in a dream, truly means to the dreamer himself.

But based on everything he has experienced recently, it is not hard to see that there are certain commonalities among dreamers.

That is, they all cherish everything they have created and will protect it at all costs.

For example, the city of Nanwei, deep in the southern border, is now completely shrouded in a mysterious mist created by Enid, prohibiting any outsiders from entering or leaving.

For example, there's the city of Ilan, with its thousand pillars. The lord of Ilan fought against the allied forces of Mount Kadas to defend the city, and there's the high wall she built herself.

Both of them preserved everything they cherished.

However, Kurans failed to do so.

The gods took over his kingdom, and ironically, he remained its king, but for him, this was also the most cruel thing to do.

...

But how could someone who dares to walk in the abyss, who has supposedly traversed the stars and gazed directly into the ultimate void of the universe, allow such a thing to exist?

It was probably around that time that Kurans began to secretly plot everything.

The first person he targeted was Nath Horsas, the Emerald God who had settled in Selphis.

……

The elderly Kurans cried like a child, cursing the gods madly.

Perhaps, all those who can become dreamers have some magical or vulnerable aspects deep down.

In any case, Milo definitely can't empathize.

He does possess some humanity now, but that's in comparison to the other indifferent superiors; it hasn't yet reached that level of subtlety or richness.

Kurans knelt on the city wall and wailed, while Milo simply found it a bit noisy.

He ignored the giant baby and went to the ground, joining the Scarface tribe.
