coming!
They've merged!
Angell had been observing the situation in Uriel's courtyard from a god-like perspective. As the surrounding celestial phenomena became increasingly terrifying, the invasion of reality was drawing to a close.
Just as the hurricane completely surrounded Uriel's courtyard, almost reaching the level of a "tornado," the fusion of origins finally came to an end!
Everyone heard a "buzzing" sound.
This is reality invading and declaring victory!
Meanwhile, Luigi in Uriel's courtyard also transitioned from a projected image to reality.
His expression suddenly turned to shock, and he looked around, seemingly bewildered by the changes around him.
Previously, Luigi couldn't see the changes in the outside world. He still thought he was in the Uriel instance and couldn't even perceive the terrifying celestial phenomena outside.
Just seconds before, Luigi heard the world buzzing.
He instinctively looked up and around, and then he saw a horrifying scene.
The surroundings suddenly turned dark.
It wasn't the kind of blackness that comes with dark clouds looming over a city, but rather a terrifying black tornado surrounding him, with a sudden gust of wind that nearly lifted him off the ground.
Even the dilapidated attic not far away was now affected.
Large quantities of broken wooden planks rattled in the wind, and some poorly glued planks were blown directly into the air.
And all of this happened in just one second.
In a single second, everything changed!
As the wind grew increasingly terrifying, Luigi hurriedly ran into the "Traveler's Hut." Although some of the facilities outside the hut, such as the swing and flowers, were blown into the air, the hut itself was fine, at least more stable than Uriel's attic.
As Luigi ran, he didn't notice that outside of the black tornado, most of the buildings on Merren Street remained as solid as a rock, not even their signs moved; the only ones truly affected by the terrifying winds were Uriel's courtyard and apartment number 01 on Merren Street.
Both of these locations are places of real-world intrusion.
After Luigi hid in the travel cabin, something else happened at the Black Stock Building.
The moment the "buzzing" sound appeared, everyone present simultaneously received a notification from the fairy realm.
"Random task 'homogeneous fusion'"
"Mission Overview: Dawn of Dreams has captured the special fairyland "Uriel's Choice". Based on the rule of homogeneous fusion, "Uriel's Choice" will be integrated into Dawn of Dreams."
"Mission Objective: The fusion of reality and illusion will inevitably lead to a mismatched structure. In order to prevent irreparable rifts from appearing in the Dream of Dawn during this fusion, please guide at least five Dreamers to the Dream of Dawn, stabilize the anchor points, and heal the rifts."
"Current number of dreamers: 0."
"Note 1: All challengers located in Dawn of Dreams can participate in this mission and share the mission progress."
"Note 2: After the countdown ends, the final reward will be calculated based on the efficiency and number of Dreamers guided."
Countdown: 03:59:18
Countdown: 03:59:17
"..."
Everyone was stunned when they saw the fairyland notification.
They never expected to suddenly receive a random mission, and what's more, the mission seemed extremely urgent—they had to guide at least five dreamers within four hours!
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and surprise, Angel suddenly sighed: "Reality intrusion does indeed bring hidden dangers..."
"Reality invasion?" Everyone looked at Angell in confusion.
Angor hadn't mentioned the concept of "reality invasion" before, mainly because he felt it involved the fundamental forces of dungeon construction and there was no need to elaborate.
But now that a random task has been given, and the description of "real-world intrusion" in the task objective is already quite specific, it's not a problem to bring it up now.
With this in mind, Angell elaborated on his definition of "reality intrusion".
After hearing the explanation, ordinary people like Gulemo and Uriel were still confused, but Blanche and Mr. Sun had a flash of understanding in their eyes.
Blanche murmured, "So each instance has a different power base... The background of most other instances is material and reality, while Dawn's Dream is illusion and dream. Therefore, when the Uriel instance, which leans towards material reality, is integrated into Dawn's Dream, it will create a state of incompatibility."
Angel nodded: "Yes, this is reality intrusion... I had thought about it before. Reality intrusion might have hidden dangers. It's like a small black patch suddenly sewn onto a white cloth. It's too glaring."
"If potential problems arise, how will they be resolved? I didn't expect that the Wonderland instance would actually be resolved through 'Dream Guest'."
As Angell finished speaking, Mr. Sun slowly said, "From the perspective of the copy, this solution is indeed the optimal one."
"To use your analogy of white cloth with black patches, the existence of Dreamers is like pure white dye. As long as there are enough Dreamers and enough dye, the black cloth patch can be dyed white."
When the colors are consistent, they will naturally not appear "glaring".
Blanche pondered, "I think I understand, but this doesn't completely solve the problem. The patch is still there. If it gets wet, the white dye will still be washed away, and the patch will revert to black."
Mr. Sun glanced at Blanche and said softly, "There is no perfect solution in this world, because the moment the vulnerability appears, the damage has already been done, and it can never be restored to perfection... unless time is reversed."
"But even if time could really be reversed and the vulnerability prevented in advance, would it never reappear?"
"of course not."
"Time will eventually move forward, and as long as development continues, loopholes will never be eliminated."
Even the most rigorous underlying rules of the world have loopholes.
"Therefore, the vulnerability is basically an objective fact. The key is how to solve it and close it in the best way. As I just said, it is very difficult to solve it perfectly."
"At most, we can achieve relative perfection, but never absolute perfection."
"Since you can only repair it to 99.9% no matter what you do, you must choose the optimal solution in terms of effort and expenditure to suit the current situation."
Mr. Sun's words were filled with self-centered and subjective sentiments, leaving Blanche bewildered and only vaguely understanding them.
After a little thought, Angell could roughly understand part of what he meant. He was actually saying that entropy increase is essentially inevitable.
The development of all things will inevitably veer towards chaos and disorder. So-called "loopholes" are merely specific manifestations of the rules governing the development of things.
Just like a perfectly good piece of clothing, no matter how carefully it is cared for, it will eventually wear out and fade; even if patches are added, it can never return to its original perfect state, because the consumption brought about by the development of things is irreversible.
Mr. Sun is not denying the importance of repair itself, but rather seeing through the essence of the matter. Rather than obsessively pursuing absolute perfection and eliminating all loopholes, it is better to accept the inevitability of things and find the most effortless and lasting way to mend things within the limited energy available.
However, on the other hand, Mr. Sun could have simply said "weighing it," but he didn't. Instead, he started from the root of the matter, which surprised Angell.
This reminded him of "White Bear" Hobson Seele.
Wizards who follow the prophetic or fate-oriented path often start with "Root".
Is Mr. Sun a wizard from the side of fate?
Angell had some doubts, but according to the information he had obtained, neither Mr. Sun nor Ms. Moon seemed to be on the side of fate.
But the black cat, Juanjuan, seemed to have a touch of fate about it.
While Angel was still in a daze, Blanche cautiously spoke again: "I... I didn't really understand. So, Mr. Sun means that we don't need to pursue a perfect restoration, right?"
Mr. Sun nodded: "That's a fair way to understand it. Even the will of the Fairy Realm didn't pursue perfection, so there's no need for us to pursue it either."
Angel then spoke up, "Actually, this task is already a relatively perfect solution. Dreamers can bring more dream power and a stronger anchor point effect. These integrated powers are like dyes, which will slowly mend the cracks caused by the fusion of the same source."
"It may seem like a whitewash, but it is actually a solution. Because the dreamers continue to exist, the rift of homogeneous integration will never be repeated; and the existence of the dreamers is also related to the continuation of the dream of dawn."
"Therefore, using Dreamers to solve problems is in line with the fundamental interests of the Dream of Dawn. It relies on Dreamers to stabilize the current rifts and on a continuous stream of Dreamers to maintain its own long-term existence, which is a win-win situation."
At this point, Angel paused for a moment: "But the problem now is how to find five dreamers within four hours."
“I know that,” Blanche raised her hand.
She was already feeling dizzy listening to Mr. Sun and Angell's theories, until Angell talked about finding the Dreamer, and she knew that they had entered the level of "problem-solving".
“I have Lovely, I can make it fly out and search from a high place.” Blanche took Lovely out of her pocket, held it in her palm, and looked proud.
But just then, Sean cautiously spoke up: "Actually, when the random mission was issued just now, the location of Dream Bubble was displayed below the information of the anchor point manager."
Blanche: "Huh?!"
Under Sean's guidance, everyone opened the text box and clicked on the information of "Anchor Point Manager".
Sure enough, a large, dark map of Dawn City appeared below.
On the large map, at least twenty glowing dots appeared, each marked with the word "Dream Bubble".
"Small Dream Bubble: It will disappear after 01:12:13."
"Medium-sized dream bubble: will disappear after 00:53:37".
"Large Dream Bubble: ..."
Currently, the light spots come in three sizes, and the disappearance time of the dream bubble is also indicated.
Moreover, the number of dream bubbles seems to fluctuate constantly over time... new dream bubbles are born one moment and old dream bubbles disappear the next.
The reason for this difference is not yet clear.
But with the appearance of the dream bubble, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Angel: "...It's not showing up on my end, probably because I'm not the anchor point manager."
“It’s alright, we’ll share Dream Bubble’s location with you,” Blanche said immediately.
Angell paused for a moment: "No need."
Although Angell did not display a map of the Dream Bubble, it could be seen from a god's-eye view.
Come to think of it, when he looked down at the Dream of Dawn from God's perspective before, he didn't find anything unusual, but now he can see dream bubbles being born everywhere.
All of this happened after the "fusion of the same origin".
Angor had a vague feeling that something was wrong. He had a feeling that the birth of the Dream of Dawn was just for the purpose of the "Uriel instance".
Otherwise, how could everything be calibrated based on the "Uriel copy"?
He recalled Luigi mentioning that the final part of the main storyline would be completed in the Dream of Dawn... but at that time, the Dream of Dawn had not yet appeared.
All these strange things made Angor realize even more: perhaps, the power of the fairy realm was just a pretext to cover up the main storyline of Uriel, and to make up the whole thing called the Dream of Dawn?
……
“Speaking of which, our location is here, the Black Stock Building on Murren Street…” Uriel looked at the location of Dream Bubble on the map, his expression puzzled: “Why is there a glowing dot here that overlaps with ours?”
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and, sure enough, saw a small dot of light at the location of the black stock building, indicating that it would disappear in 10 minutes.
"Could there be a dream bubble in the black stock building?" Blanche asked in surprise.
The group looked at each other.
"Shall we go downstairs and take a look?" Uriel suggested.
Since the top floor offered a clear view and nothing unusual was found, they were certain the person wasn't there. Without hesitation, the group immediately headed downstairs.
Soon, they found a dream bubble in the room on the left side of the third floor.
The dream bubble looks a bit like a soap bubble, about two meters in size, with a smooth surface covered by a transparent film, reflecting colorful halos under indoor dim light.
Through the membrane, one can see that the dream bubble is filled with chaotic smoke, and there are vague human figures, but they are not clearly visible.
"Is this what a dream bubble is?"
"She looks a bit fragile..."
After a moment of reflection, the group decided who would enter to experience the Dream Bubble. As they approached the Dream Bubble, they received a warning: it contained the dreams of the dreamers, and only one person could enter at a time; otherwise, there would be unpredictable risks.
So, what they originally planned to do as a group has now become a solo mission.
Who goes becomes the key.
Sean and Blanche spoke almost simultaneously: "I'll go."
Sean felt that as a member of the team, she couldn't back down; Blanche, on the other hand, felt that as the only Dream Apprentice present, she should take responsibility.
However, in the end neither of them went.
The one who chose to enter the dream bubble was... Mr. Sun.
Yes, it was the legendary wizard, Mr. Sun.
Even Angell was surprised, never expecting that Mr. Sun would be willing to enter the dream bubble.
No one asked Mr. Sun to enter, and no one thought he would enter... It was Mr. Sun who volunteered to go and see the Dream Bubble.
Since Mr. Sun held a prominent position and had spoken, no one else dared to say anything more.
So, just before the dream bubble was about to disappear, Mr. Sun took the initiative to touch the dream bubble and entered it.
