Chapter 530 The Power Of Dreams
Going back several minutes in time...
When Meryl had launched a powerful beam that could equal the strongest attacks of Mid-Tiers, the ship of Garenjazz was greatly damaged. And the momentary attack revealed the real form of the ship, and everyone was able to enter the dream world.
From the outside, everyone saw a vast mist. But as Alean and the rest moved into the mist, the entire landscape changed, and even the gigantic Hypersphere was no more. It was as if they had stepped into a different planet, and a world of strange possibilities stood before them.
Cliff and the Basilisk Squadron, the Gryphon Squadron, Meryl and the Twelve Disciples, Lynd, Seeker, Meryl's parents, and several other soldiers who were trained bravely charged into the mist and entered a world beyond the three dimensions.
The force that Alean brought in had numerous soldiers from all over the world. Recruited by Chris and Grace were former members of the Force of Americas. These were the elites of the Americas' most secret organization and were soldiers at the Inhuman stages. Among these soldiers were the allies of Chris, Jonathan, and another who had for the longest time been in love with Grace Carlean.
Jake of the Force of Americas saw the massive armies of the Presiders.
"So each of these Presider has an army like this, huh?" Jake frowned.
"Oh? I thought you, of all people, wouldn't be scared, Jake!" Grace chuckled.
Jake smiled as he turned toward Grace.
"Nothing like that, Grace. It's just that with this, I would be able to finally push the Americas to join the cause and ally with Seeker's army!" Jake cheered.
Chris didn't know whether to be angry or sad at Jake, who was making a goofy face at his wife. Even with all the truths about the Unlocking revealed, Jake did not notice that he was under the spell of Grace.
"Jake and that other Jake who can pass through walls are both being led and manipulated by a girl who would never reciprocate their feelings. I better tell Seeker never to name his kids Jake." Chris thought to himself.
Members from the East Asian Alliance were also among them. Jade and Stevenson Mikado recruited them. At the departure of Lara Diamon and the Diamon group, numerous spies were sent with them, all of who were captured and forcibly converted,
The missions of Lynda and Peters Indigo were also successful as they toured many parts of Asia and drew numerous soldiers to their cause with their Path of making people bitter and angry. When the Presiders began to show up all over the world, they had gathered people and made these bitter men point their guns at these Presiders. They were all easily assimilated into the Unlocked armies.
The best of who they gathered to join in the mission.
As the mist was about to cover the entire area, Alean finally activated a massive teleportation device that opened the Void.
WARP! WARP! WARP!
The void was opened, and numerous members of the Void assassins took Pegasus and other WGP-Level ships. Several spacecraft appeared at the side as it broke through the Void.
The Unlocked showed a greater portion of their capabilities as a small army began to form.
And none of the Presiders noticed it with all the chaos outside.
The massive Hypershpere was there, and soon, an army of exoskeletons and armors began to move out of the ship.
Zeraphine's ship was also there, and they began to release an army of their own.
The army covered the horizon of the strange world, and even with the lavish deployment of the Unlocked forces, they were still vastly outnumbered. Yet the Unlocked armies did not cower.
"Push forward! Garenjazz and Zeraphine are busy fighting Seeker and Lynd! A Presider won't control those armies!" Alean urged.
Suddenly, the entire horizon began to change as the mist had covered their retreat and engulfed the entire space in it. The dimensions began to change and were distorted.
At the closing of the red mist, the entire area began to change. As they did, they could see a world inside that once revealed the Hypersphere, but then, the place began to change as the power of the Dreams returned.
"The world is changing! We will be within the dimension that Garenjazz commands! Everyone! Be careful!"
The world turned strange, and it was as if all the Unlocked felt their sense of direction whirling.
The world was spinning as if they were inside a massive kaleidoscope.
But even with the distorting and changing environment, none of the Unlocked were affected by the slightest. They were all trained to withstand all forms of distortions, and their sense of balance was not dependent on their physiology but had Realm,
The armies in front of them began to distort, and the power of dreams began to change.
But as that happened, Cliff had used his powers to daydream and paid attention to the expressions of everyone that was projected inside his suit.
The expressions of every one were different. Some were scared, others were amazed, and others were confused.
With Seeker's close relationship with Zeraphine, he had been asking what the powers of Garenjazz were. Seeker had made it clear earlier that he would be with Garenjazz and that there was a possibility that Garenjazz would attack him. However, his identity and the forces that his 'father' commanded were not enough to withstand a Top-Tier.
But Zeraphine could only answer in vague terms, for she didn't understand the powers of Garenjazz herself. There was never a time in her life when Garenjazz fought seriously. Even in Aragar, no Presiders dared to mess with him casually, and he was highly favored even among Principals.
The only idea that the Unlocked army had was that Garenjazz had a power that was connected to dreams. From this vague understanding of his power, Arthur, Seeker, and Lowengren began to theorize what that meant.
Dreams resided in the dimensions where the soul was. It was the same dimension that Seeker trained in when he had met Nogard. They all created their preparations to combat how that power would form, and with Nogard around, those who would join Seeker in attacking were once more given training by Nogard.
Yet the biggest problem was how dreams would manifest themselves in the world. Who is the dreamer? Will they see Garenjazz's dream, or will it be a world where those who moved inside the world would see their dreams being reflected?
Cliff watched the micro-expressions of everyone. He could feel that his power of Day Dreaming could even be projected into this world!
Time had slowed in his perspective, but unlike the usual scenarios, Cliff couldn't permanently stop the flow of time.
"Each has different reactions..." Cliff noted.
From Cliff's perspective, he could see a red world as if they were on Mars, and a thousand flying saucers and demon-like beasts flew over the air. But because of Cliff's attention and power in daydreaming, he could see that the enemies were subtly shifting from one form to the other.
Some became dragons and dinosaurs as his gaze turned away from them.
"This proves it. The subtle changes in the world that even our snipers won't notice how the beast is changing. Everyone's thoughts and subconscious create images of the creatures before them."
"Basilisk Squadron! Move out!" Cliff gave orders, and the massive serpent, along with other Unlocked, charged forward to battle the incoming oddities of the dreams.
"Everyone! You are all seeing a different dream! The things you see before you are not the real thing! The powers of the dream are forcing you to accept it! Just as how odd things become acceptable while you dream, the realities before you will trick you and affect you! We are fighting in a dream and all the side-effects our brain encounters in the dream become here! Find resolve to remember!" Cliff shouted. He was the one who had a perfect memory, so he could feel his thoughts shifting into a dangerous form of mindset.
Matthew of the Twelve disciples was alarmed.
"Everyone! Keep remembering each other! Don't stop talking! The dreams are affecting our memories! So keep talking to remember!" Matthew declared.
Everyone in the Unlocked army began to talk to each other.
"This is scary! We would have died if we did not know all of this!" Ivan of the Gryphon Squadron was stunned as his memories were affected.
"I'm not affected by this." Alphie chuckled.
"You're not?" Lim was amazed.
"I'm clear-headed. Seeker's in there. And I have to save him!" Alphie laughed.
Suddenly, the entire skies turned dark, and everyone saw their visions change. It was as if they were in a dream. They found themselves in a dark, monochrome world, and their memories were affected.
"...Where am I?" Alphie suddenly asked as she looked around.
Almost everybody began to lose sight of their purpose, and some were even confused about where they were.
"A nightmare, huh? Everyone but me is affected." Cliff frowned as he could see everyone's expression change into a trance, confusion, fear, anger, and all sorts of emotions.
"Arthur told me about this... I guess I'll find out if this will work..." Cliff closed his eyes and expanded his realm. With the Thought Transmitter, it was now possible to transmit more than just words. Especially the distorted place where dreams and reality overlapped.
"Garenjazz, this nightmare won't defeat our armies! Not as long as I'm here! I don't dream randomly. I define my dreams! I am the Day Dreamer!" Cliff embraced the mocking title that many would taunt him with, and his memories exploded out.
"Memory Realm!" Cliff activated a power that he had been training for, for a long time.
