Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 362: See God in a Dream, Lord of the Nebula

"The dragon is already asleep, what can I do?"

Noticing the handsome poet's gaze, the petite girl with pink curly hair blinked her emerald eyes and smiled playfully, as if she was acting coquettishly.

"I know you have more abilities than just making people sleep. Can you try to invade this dragon's dream and see what sweet dreams he is having?"

Charon suggested.

He knew that the ability of the girl in front of him was enough to complete most tasks simply by making the target fall asleep unconditionally, and there was no need to use the trick of entering the dream to kill people.

But the problem is that their current target has fallen asleep. From the surface, it seems that this dream wizard has been useless. Her participation in this war is just a superfluous soy sauce bottle and is completely useless.

"How do you know I haven't tried to enter his dream?"

Eve asked back with a grin.

"When did you start the invasion?"

"When you were setting up the barrier, I had already started."

"So you haven't succeeded yet?"

Charon covered his face, when he learned that the dragon was sleeping, he felt that the wizard was half useless. Now it seems that he is completely useless and useless. He can't even invade the dragon's dream.

"It's almost time. You have to give me some more time."

"How soon do you mean soon?"

"Oh, don't rush me, I've been working very hard!"

The girl hummed coquettishly, but as a bard with a lot of experience in the entertainment industry, Charon didn't buy it.
"Don't dawdle."

"All right!"

Under the poet's constant urging, the girl's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands. Then, as the bard's gaze gradually changed from joy to fear, her figure gradually faded and disappeared completely.

"It's really an ability that is impossible to defend against!"

At this moment, Charon could no longer sense the presence of the dream wizard. In this space that had been blocked by the barrier, he could not find any trace of the girl's existence, but he knew that she had sneaked into the golden dragon's dream.

"I don't know what the dragon's dream was like, I hope it can be of some use!"

Although this girl had a very brutal record in the past and even had a glorious record of independently hunting down false gods, Charon did not have high expectations for her.
The target this time was too special. He was clearly asleep, his soul was completely silent, his mind was unresponsive, and his body was not controlled by any consciousness, but he was still able to move independently. He was able to fight back and forth with the three beings who could hunt demigods with their own abilities, and even have a snack from time to time.

"What a waste!"

Seeing the Mountain Dome Lord having part of his body swallowed by the golden dragon from time to time, the Hell Poet, who seemed to be standing aside and commenting on him, felt very uncomfortable and had no intention of seeing his fate end at all.

For him, completing the task is good, and he can get the reward from the gods, but if he fails to complete it, that's it, the gods can't punish them, and they don't have the ability to punish them.

What motivates them to hunt gods is often loyalty, responsibility and obligation, and of course the most important thing is profit. For example, what he pursues is pure profit, and if the gods do not give him the full reward, he will not move at all.

"When the barrier is broken and I haven't hurt this golden dragon yet, I will run away."

After making up his mind, Charon glanced at the Moon Crown Priest who, like him, was outside the battlefield and only gave blessings to his temporary teammates on the field.

Coincidentally, the woman also glanced at him, and the two elegant and mature men and women smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

……

In the boundless darkness, the brilliant and colorful nebula rolled. Standing in the crown of the golden tree among the nebula, the golden dragon, who was entangled in it and tasting the wonderful flavors of many fruits, suddenly stopped, with a look of surprise and curiosity. He raised his head and looked outside the nebula.

"What's this extra?"

After thinking for a moment, although he was reluctant to give up the wonderful taste of the fruit, this abnormality was unprecedented and the fruit would not escape anyway, so Noah only hesitated for a moment, then left the golden tree and flew out of the nebula.

"What is this? The void?"

Eve, the dream wizard, was in the darkness, shocked and terrified. She looked around uneasily, and saw nothing but stars in the distance.

Those lights are really too far away. Although their existence means that this place is not truly nothing, the long distance is enough to make anyone with a strong mind despair.

"How could a golden dragon that has stayed in the material world for a long time have such a dream?"

An undisguised look of panic gradually emerged on the girl's face.

Because such a dream was too huge and out of her control. As a mage who used dreams as a means of killing, she had seen too many bizarre dreams.

But no matter how horrible the contents of these dreams are, even if there is no logic at all, or even if they go against common sense, she can always find patterns in them, gain control, and then kill the source of the dreams, and finally leave calmly before the dreams collapse.

She was not afraid of disorganized and illogical dreams, but was afraid of having nothing at all. She had encountered similar dreams before, but this was the first time she had seen such an empty and huge dream.

Therefore, the first problem she faced now was that in such a huge dream, she could not find the existence of the dream master.

If she can't even find the source of the dream, it means that she will be trapped in this dream, and she will have no chance to escape until the owner of the dream wakes up.

"What is that? A living thing? A pink star?"

Noah cruised to the edge of the nebula and looked up in the direction of the abnormality he sensed, but after looking for a long time, Noah became a little uncertain.

Because he felt that it seemed to be a living creature that could move, but the problem was that the distance was too far, so far that even if Noah sensed the other party's existence, he lost the desire to explore and contact it, even though this was the biggest anomaly he had encountered since entering the dream, except for the golden tree.

Distance can eliminate too many desires, and Noah can think rationally. He still feels the need to figure out what this star that emits pink light and looks like a living thing is. How could such a change occur in his dream?

When this thought came to mind, the nebula, which had been moving irregularly in the boundless darkness, suddenly had a clear direction.

"what?"

When Noah realized that his thoughts could actually affect the trajectory and direction of the nebula where the golden tree was rooted, he immediately let out a very surprised sound.

He really didn't expect such an abnormal change. Before this, he never thought of manipulating the nebula because it was too huge. Even the golden tree that had grown up now, with its seemingly terrifying root network, occupied less than one ten-millionth of the area inside the nebula. When the trajectory of the nebula changed, Eve, who was originally extremely confused and didn't know what to do, immediately noticed it.

The originally flustered little face instantly cleared of confusion and panic, becoming cool and calm, and a childish and innocent smile reappeared on her face.

For a dream wizard, he is not afraid of abnormalities, but is afraid of no abnormalities. Nothingness is the most terrifying.

"Found you!"

After finding the direction to move forward, this mage who was able to kill gods in their dreams immediately showed her power.

She raised her childish-looking magic wand and gently waved it. A space portal opened. When she stepped into it with a smug smile on her face and walked out of another door, she was still greeted by endless darkness.

"How far is it?"

Seeing the darkness in front of him that seemed to remain unchanged, the wizard who had just revealed a smug smile suddenly froze, and the five fingers holding the staff were pinched until the knuckles turned white and creaked.

"What's wrong with this dragon's brain? Why did he have such a dream? What's the meaning of this dream?"

As a dream wizard, Eve made an incompetent complaint at this time.

Dreams are inherently bizarre, meaningless, and illogical.

However, when Eve continued to cast spells and finally approached the target she perceived, she only took a glance from a distance, and the dream wizard turned around and ran away.

"What bad luck! What bad luck! Why am I so unlucky? This is not a dream at all!"

Eve recalled the scene she had just detected with magic. It was a constantly rotating nebula. In the brilliant stardust composed of billions of stars, a golden dragon that looked exactly the same as the ones in the outside world and had been fighting with many god hunters was looking at her with curiosity.

But unlike the outside world, this dragon is alive, has its own thinking and will, and is extremely clear-headed. It is not immersed in a dream at all. The really scary thing is that it is much bigger than the outside world. The stars in front of it are like dust, and she is just like the stars.

This is not a dragon at all, but... The dream wizard Eve, who realized something, was in tears. At this moment, she regretted more than ever before. She regretted why she had sneaked into the golden dragon's dream.

As her vision continued to extend into the past, Eve even regretted choosing to become a dream school mage, a profession that was extremely prone to violating taboos.

Many of her predecessors had died silently. Today, she was probably going to follow in their footsteps and die in this terrifying dream filled with countless secrets.

But even so, the desire and instinct to survive still urged Eve to keep escaping in her dreams and increasing the distance, even if it was just to buy herself a chance to breathe.

"Why are you running?"

Noah, who originally thought that he would need to wait for a while before he could see the true nature of the pink star, stretched out his dragon claws and gently scooped the little guy who came to him into his dragon claws.

She was a rather petite and cute pink girl. Her delicate appearance and pitiful expression reminded Noah of the group of fairies he had raised.

However, the little guy in front of him was even smaller than the little goblins he raised. When he fell into his dragon claws, he was not even as big as a dragon scale in his palm.

"I……"

Hearing the thunderous sound emitted by the majestic being in front of her, Eve, whose head was dizzy from the shock, burst into tears and stammered.

How should she answer? Should she answer that I am the God Hunter who came to severely injure you?

Of course, this answer is impossible to say without even thinking about it, but lying is even more impossible. Even low-level adventurers know that they cannot tell lies when encountering a golden dragon, let alone now.

"Tell me, your name, and why are you here?"

Noah's eyes were full of curiosity. He had controlled this dream for so long, but this was the first time he encountered a living creature other than himself.

What surprised him most was that this guy seemed to be more familiar with dreams than he was. Noah couldn't travel through dreams as quickly as she did. He didn't know how long it took him to reach the nebula under his feet.

"My name is Eve, I'm a dream fairy, and I'm very sorry to have come into your dream!"

Feeling the heat gushing out of Jin Long's nose when he asked her questions, the shivering Eve could not hide her fear.

Dreams are different from reality. In dreams, even in reality, a weak mortal can become a strong man, and an ordinary person who is ignored by everyone can become a handsome and handsome man who is loved by everyone in a dream.

The self in a dream can easily surpass the real self and do things that are impossible to do in reality. Therefore, it is normal that the people seen in dreams are stronger than in reality.

But all this power must be supported by logic, just like people cannot imagine things they have never seen. This principle exists even in dreams.

If a mortal imagines himself to be more powerful than gods in a dream, but he has never seen and does not understand the power of gods, the dream he imagines will be illogical and bizarre. Such a dream with fragile logic will be vulnerable.

But the dream she was in now was too perfect, so perfect that it seemed like reality. In such a real dream, the golden dragon she saw could control the stars.

"Dream fairies? There is such a race. This is the first time I've heard of it today."

"That's because the existence of our race is very fragile. We were born in dreams and died in dreams."

Eve replied quickly, her eyes full of tears, looking very pitiful and charming.

"But you appeared in my dream."

"It was just an accident."

"What a surprise. Then can you tell me, are there many fairies like you?"

"I have never met anyone like him until now."

Eve answered honestly.

"There are no similar people. Then I feel relieved!"

"what?"

The last thing this wizard, who was known as the fairy in dreams, saw was an open dragon's mouth and an endless abyss.
