Fake Deity [C169]

Inside the flying ship, in the dream-fight test room.

Gradually opening his eyes, in Shu Himo's view entered a panic-stricken Yubei Kelos banging his fists on the wall.

"Am I seeing wrong?" Mumbling sleepily, Shu Himo rubbed his eyes and then stared again at the figure banging his fists on the wall. "I was not seeing wrong!"

Did the fight make him go insane? And he was fighting against his inner demons? But was there a need to bang his fists on the wall? Or was someone forcing him to bang the fists on the wall? Was he perhaps fighting an invisible enemy?

As Shu Himo's thoughts went wild, Yubei Kelos abruptly turned around toward him with reddened eyes, "The divination! It was all true!"

"Divination?" Shu Himo did not know how to react… he always thought that Yubei Kelos was a calm person… but to think that he would act like that just for a divination!

"You don't get it! The divination said… that our future would be in tranquillity and peace!"

Every time Yubei Kelos thought of what could happen in the future after receiving such a dreadful divination he felt a shiver going down his back.

"I see…" Shu Himo finally understood why he acted like that. 'I didn't expect that he was the type of person who hates tranquillity and peace so much… should I make some big mess to make everything more lively?'

Giving him a thumbs up, Shu Himo smiled, "There is no need to worry about that, trust me!"

'Trust you? You are the problem!' Forcing himself to not scream those words, Yubei Kelos' breathing hastened.

Suddenly, the sound of a small explosion resounded in the room, and everyone quickly turned to see what happened.

Yubei Kelos' lips twitched, "The white orb exploded!"

From its former spherical form, the white orb exploded in hundreds of pieces, flying everywhere in the room. It was just a couple minutes that Shu Himo was the leader… and something already happened!

Shu Himo blinked. He did not expect that the seemingly harmless orb was actually a bomb! Looking around himself, he wondered if there was something else that could explode...

Taking a fragmented piece of the white orb, Yubei Kelos fell in thought, 'Was it overloaded? Maybe it barely resisted his Qi... but exploded due to connecting us to his dream?' Such a realization shocked him. 'So when the orb did not react was not because Shu Himo's talent was bad… but because the orb itself was not able to calculate it? While it's possible to repair it easily… is this the prelude of what will happen in the future?'

Clenching his fists, he thought to himself, 'If the future reserve a path to hell… I will just reinforce the defenses of the ship! And if it's not enough, I will reinforce them even more! I want to see who will dare to cause problems then!'

Looking at how Yubei Kelos was laughing crazily by himself, Shu Himo shuddered for a moment and pretended to not have noticed it. 'It seems that the risk to live the rest of his life in peace is bringing him to madness... what kind of disaster should I cause to help him?'

"Oh, right... " Calming down in just a couple seconds, Yubei Kelos smiled as if what happened a moment before was just an illusion.

"You said that you wanted to make a banquet… it should be about time."

"About time? Oh, it's already late…" Overhearing the last phrase, Aura Azusa also woke up and stared blankly at Shu Himo. She expected that the fate of the Winged Freaks would not be good… but she did not expect such a difference of strength.

Receiving such a gaze from Aura Azusa, Shu Himo scratched his head and said, "Let's go to meet Pyrus Ignait… we need someone to cook for the banquet."

Hearing that they were departing, Phylia opened her eyes and stood up. She overheard all their conversation but pretended to be sleeping, not wanting to disturb them. Glancing at her, Shu Himo lightly grinned, he already knew that she was awake.

The four then walked outside of the room, to prepare for the banquet.

In a room made completely in white cotton.

On the fluffy cotton floor, a girl almost completely covered by a baggy pajama was taking shallow breaths. She was curled up on herself, as her soft pajama covered nearly all her body, leaving only her face and the tips of her slender fingers to be seen, which barely reached out of her far too long sleeves.

Colored white, the pajama blended with the cotton floor, making the room appear empty.

From her delicate lips, a weak yet sweet voice came out, "A leader..." She posed her palm on the floor and pushed herself up. Her azure eyes were half opened, which was already a small victory for her, as she was desperately fighting against falling asleep again.

As she stood up, the hood fell from her head, revealing her azure long hair, somehow still smooth even after just waking up.

"To think there was somebody…" She mumbled in a weak tone as she dragged herself towards the other room, still half asleep. "With such control over dreams…"

Upon reaching the door, she slowly pushed it open and released a yawn, before letting her gaze wander through the room.

At the side of the room there was a cubic container almost 2 meters in size, while in the middle, there were a table and a chair. The container, the floor, and the table had an extra layer of fluffy, soft cotton. On the table, there was a small blue cup.

She rubbed her eyes, and then took the chair as she walked to the container, placing the chair in front of it. Climbing on the chair, she then pushed open the container's lid, as cold air came out from it.

Stretching her small hand inside, she grabbed a little cube of frozen milk. Lightly jumping to reach the opened lid, she closed the container once again and walked up to the table while dragging once again the chair.

Sitting on it, she took the small cup and placed the frozen cube of milk inside.

"Fireball." Sleepily chanting, she created a small fire on her hand and inserted it inside of the cup. Without damage the cup at all, the fire melted the frozen milk and heated it until ready to drink.

While sipping the milk from her cup, she reminisced about the fight she had in the dream.

"A control able to create such a monster… and his territory with an unknown strength…" Contrary to her weak tone, in her eyes there was an excited gaze filled in admiration, "He is not simply a dreamer… he is the Dreamer God!"

While she was lost in her fantasies, she finished eating and fell asleep on the table, without even bothering to return to the other room.
