Chapter 456: Each Their Own Dream
With the arrival of Ouroboros, Hastur could only descend here in the form of the Vessel of the Stars.
If Ouroboros suddenly went mad and attacked the Hope, Audrey and the others would be unable to wake up from their dreams.
"You lied to me."
"..."
The first words from Ouroboros almost made Hastur lose his composure.
Why did this make him feel like a heartless man who had betrayed someone's feelings?
"I just helped Him a little," Hastur continued. "Even if I hadn't helped Him, you still wouldn't have found Him."
"This is between Him and me. I don't want there to be a second time, even if you are a follower of the stars."
Ouroboros' expression didn't change, but his words were very serious.
"Did you come here tonight just for this?" Hastur calmly changed the subject.
Ouroboros just gave him a deep look, then shifted his gaze towards the cabin, carefully sensing for a while, but found nothing special.
"Let the one from the forsaken land of the god of the god leave. I don't want Him disturbing the Lord's peace."
"He just wants to play hide and seek with Amon. Once he's had his fun, he'll naturally leave."
Hastur naturally understood that the "Him" Ouroboros referred to was the High-Dimensional Overseer .
But he had no interest in participating in the game between the High-Dimensional Overseer and Amon.
To get the High-Dimensional Overseer to leave the forsaken land of the god of the god was simple—Amon just had to leave.
Hastur believed Ouroboros would know what to do.
What really concerned Hastur was whether getting the High-Dimensional Overseer to leave the forsaken land of the god of the god was Ouroboros' own idea or an instruction from the True Creator.
Ouroboros didn't continue this topic but suddenly brought up the war between the Feysac Empire and the Loen Kingdom.
From Ouroboros' words, it seemed there might be new developments there.
He didn't say exactly what, just mentioned, "Don't let the pollution of the stars further erode the real world."
This was said to the stars, implying that Outer Gods from beyond the stars were involved in the war between the Feysac Empire and the Loen Kingdom.
After seeing Ouroboros off, Hastur instructed the Vessel of the Stars to guard the Hope tonight, in case Ouroboros returned.
In the Hall of Stars, Hastur's gaze swept across the starry sky overhead.
The Lamp God, the Mother Tree of Desire, the Supernova Dominator, and the High-Dimensional Overseer showed no suspicious movements, and their activities were not within the Feysac Empire.
So, the changes Ouroboros mentioned should be the work of the Fallen Mother Goddess and her allies.
Currently, it is known that the Fallen Mother Goddess' faction includes a Ring of Fate.
During the Roselle Tomb incident, the Fallen Mother Goddess' power suddenly increased because the Ring of Fate used its authority to help the Fallen Mother Goddess borrow her full power.
The intense aura of fate was clearly captured by the Hall of Stars.
However, Hastur had deliberately ignored the Ring of Fate. Now that it had united with the Fallen Mother Goddess, it was quite normal.
Hastur's gaze passed over the Mother Tree of Desire and others, looking at the other stars that had not yet fully lit up.
Among these stars, there might be Outer Gods from beyond the stars that he didn't recognize.
For example, the King in Yellow, an Outer God from the distant starry sky.
Unfortunately, his current strength was insufficient. He could only light up the outermost barrier bit by bit and couldn't fully illuminate the entire starry sky.
After observing for a while, Hastur left the Hall of Stars and entered the dream world, arriving in the shared dreamscape.
Soon, he found Audrey's location, a fairy-tale forest she had imagined.
There were no thorny bushes, tall and colorful mushroom clusters, a few towering trees with treehouses carved into their trunks, and clusters of flowers whispering to each other.
As the queen of this fairy-tale kingdom, the beautiful Miss Audrey wore a simple garland made of flowers in red, white, purple, or blue, and a light white dress. She was barefoot, dipping her feet into a crystal-clear lake.
Sometimes, she would gently splash the water, sending droplets sparkling in the sunlight into the air, accompanied by her melodious and joyful laughter.
Hastur didn't disturb her, just stood there, watching Audrey's fairy-tale kingdom.
Let her live in this rare fairy-tale kingdom for now.
But where was Susie? Shouldn't she be inseparable from Audrey?
After staying for a while, Hastur moved on to the next dream.
He saw Fors lying in a small house, on a soft and comfortable bed, hugging a pillow half her height. Beside her was a desk, with manuscripts scattered from the desk to the floor.
The manuscripts were being written by pens that could automatically write wonderful stories without needing the owner to control them.
What a nice dream.
Hastur watched for a while, then gently pointed out a star light. The pens that had been automatically writing stories stopped, Fors' soft bed turned into a hard wooden bed, and the room became a prison with only one window.
In the prison, there was also a desk with the necessary materials for writing novels.
On the wall opposite the wooden bed, there was a message in Loen language: "Write a million words before you can leave."
Unaccustomed to the hardness of the wooden bed, Fors finally woke up from her dream. She stared blankly at the unfamiliar surroundings for a long time.
She tried to get up and open the window to leave the prison, but it was useless.
She could only sit back on the bed, staring blankly at the message on the wall.
A million words!
Wasn't this a death sentence?
Fors irritably scratched her hair, but eventually resigned herself to sit at the desk and start writing a new novel.
Hastur watched her enter the writing state, nodded in satisfaction, and left.
People can't always have sweet dreams; sometimes nightmares are what make people progress.
Passing through Fors' dream, Hastur found Xio's dream not far away.
At this moment, Xio was standing on a cloud, battling a giant golden dragon of the mind.
Holding a judgment hammer and wearing silver-white armor, she looked quite heroic.
When Hastur's gaze fell on the golden-scaled dragon of the mind, he couldn't help but smile.
That majestic and imposing dragon of the mind was actually Susie.
In her dream, she was a dragon of the mind.
Hastur watched seriously for a while and found that Susie wasn't affected by the shared dream. She had just turned into a dragon of the mind to play with Xio.
As the battle continued, Susie mostly had the upper hand, but Xio kept fighting with perseverance, never giving up. The two continued their intense battle.
The only pity was that Susie didn't shout "submit, human pet" while fighting.
Hastur continued forward, passing through the dreams of the cook and the maid. Their dreams were very similar, both chasing a yellow figure under the starlit night.
Very devout.
Hastur moved on and saw Klein. He wasn't affected by the power here, just found a safe place to wait for the dream to end.
Seeing Hastur, Klein couldn't help but ask, "Why can you always see through my disguises, Mr. Hastur? Is my disguise technique not good enough?"
"Because of fate, Mr. Klein."
"What kind of fate?"
"The fate of meeting."
Nonsense, Klein wanted to say, but he held back. The other party was clearly being perfunctory, so he didn't continue the topic.
Hastur also had no intention of wandering further and stayed to chat with Klein about various occult knowledge.
Including the origins of this sea of ruins and the matters between Amon and Adam.
...
The night quickly gave way to day, and the dream dissipated with the night.
As the morning sunlight shone through the window onto the bed, Audrey and the others woke up from their sleep.
"Mr. Hastur, did you stay here all night?"
The first thing Audrey saw when she opened her eyes was Hastur sitting by the window, smiling at her.
"Yes, I was afraid someone would be too lonely."
Faced with such teasing, Audrey just smiled. She wouldn't blush from such words.
But when Hastur mentioned the fairy-tale kingdom in the dream, Audrey's forced calm finally broke.
Her blushing cheeks were more beautiful than the clouds in the sky.
On the other side, Fors woke up and instinctively shook her sore wrist, recalling the nightmare from last night, her eyes gradually becoming dull.
And Xio, who had fought the dragon of the mind all night, was still energetic, striking a few battle poses and shouting some motivational phrases from time to time.
The Hope continued to sail forward, and one night, the people on board finally heard the faint singing of mermaids.
The most excited person was Klein. After informing Hastur, he left the Hope alone to head to the area where the mermaids appeared.
He had made all the preparations and was just waiting to take the potion tonight.
