Tomb of the Gods (1)
Drimo.
Seekers around the world, including Sirone, now understood dreams.
“Drimo is a system that processes logical and illogical signals.”
Sirone said.
“Therefore, signals from reality and the hidden world come in at the same time. “This is why dreams are contradictory when you wake up.”
Miro added.
“It’s not actually a contradiction. “At least in dreams, it’s completely logical.”
Sein agreed.
“That’s what makes hidden codes scary. “Because things that can only happen in dreams happen in reality.”
Even now, when I think of Shi-ok, my teeth grind together.
‘I still love Maze…
to the point that not being able to choose her during the Judgment of the Twenty is the biggest regret of my life.
Of course, I have no intention of hurting Gaold.
‘He doesn’t deserve it’ and
the only one who is qualified to love Miro is Ga Old, and that’s why there was a crack in Miro’s heart.
‘But…
what you like is what you like.
Sein, who was looking at Miro’s face, made eye contact with Kang Nan, who was facing him.
We both knew what each other was thinking, but in the end we didn’t show it and looked away.
“by the way.”
Gaold looked up and said.
“It’s definitely not a place to go sober.”
Wow!
Roaring noises, like the sounds of monsters, were coming from machinery spinning in all directions.
“This is the center of Drimo.”
The world called Sleepwalking was unfolding before the eyes of Sirone and his group.
Kang Nan opened his mouth.
“Oh my god…
I don’t think any crazy person’s mind would be like this.
Mysterious structures were repeatedly assembled and dismantled, and among them were ancient artifacts from Sirone’s planet.
Abstract and Impressionist paintings, sound waves exploding like firecrackers, and unknown mathematical formulas.
Ruber said.
“The process by which illogical emotions are expressed through rational symbols is amazing. That’s why some call dreams a source of inspiration.”
Even Arius, who had robbed countless minds, could only utter praise this time.
“That’s amazing. “Common sense as we know it is being overturned and concepts from completely different categories are being combined without difficulty.”
Mong-ah said proudly.
“In dreams, all concepts go through a mysterious combination process. There, logical and illogical are distinguished. When you wake up from a dream, only the logical part remains. This is very important. If illogical code is uploaded to reality…
“Because the world will change.”
Sirone said.
“What defines the world is the human mind. Therefore, if you perceive the world based on illogical standards, the world itself will eventually become distorted.”
Sein asked.
“Regulations for eating out?”
Mong-ah nodded.
“yes. But wouldn’t you say that this is rather a small part of using equivalent exchange?”
Ruber received the word.
“There are cases where concepts are artificially manipulated. A representative example is 〈Objet〉.”
“ah??????
“Concepts that should not be introduced into the logical world are implemented using system expedients. “Humans call people who do such things grave robbers, right?”
When Ruber looked away, Arius shrugged his shoulders.
“Ha, but not all objects that exist in the world are the work of grave robbers, right? Mr. Rian’s ‘Idea’ is also a representative example of self-expression.”
“If you are a user with faith, there is nothing you can do about the system. But rules are there to be followed. “The reason I went into your dream and didn’t punish you is because of the rules.”
“…sorry.”
Ruber did not scold any more.
“That’s it. In any case, there are objects that have contributed to the world. Besides, me too…
Ruber smiled bitterly.
“It’s not like I’ve never broken the rules.”
“Mr. Luber broke the rules?” It was something that even Sirone had never heard of.
“That’s right. I have only once brought an object into reality through my own will. “That is the object ‘demon sword Armand’ used by Oh Dae-seong.”
Many thoughts passed through my mind.
Of course, Ruber would know the source of all objects, but it felt quite strange that Armand had created them with his own hands.
“I’ve met Armand before. “She was from the Hwa tribe, right?”
“yes. It was what she wanted to do. “I’ll tell you later when I get the chance.”
Ruber has nothing to hide from Sirone.
So, I guessed that the reason he was avoiding talking was because of his personal feelings.
‘If it’s Arius…
if he’s the person who handed Armand over to Zeon, Prince of Khazra, he must know something.
But even Arius just kept his mouth shut with an uneasy expression on his face.
The place Ruber led to was the lowest level of the huge pyramid.
“This is the place.”
The small fountain pointed to by the louver contained a highly viscous red liquid like a mirror.
“Non-physical engines are often called dream engines. Once in operation, the barrier between logic and illogic will be broken down, and the boundaries of time and space will disappear.”
Sirone said.
“So a dreamer can exist in everyone’s dreams at the same time.”
“yes. It is not a logical phenomenon like simultaneous events. “There is simply no space and time itself.”
When Louver activated the dream engine, blood-red liquid clumped up in the air and caused a chaotic change.
Mong-ah held out her hand.
“Currently, we are injecting negative energy Nightmare into Ymir’s dreams. “The dream power will embody the event that Ymir fears the most.”
Arius added.
“If there really is such a thing.”
Once all preparations were complete, the red liquid began to change shape at an incredible speed.
As if it was a human face, as if it were a monster, as if this was all an illusion.
“I’m going in.”
As the dream engine turned Drimo, the surrounding scenery began to change little by little.
It was Ymir’s dream.
It was dark and I couldn’t see anything. ‘here?’
It was as if the world that had swallowed them was ignoring their existence.
Gaold’s voice was heard.
“It resembles a vacuum.”
The words were so close to the correct answer that the group was unable to answer.
Miro chanted in his head.
‘Ymir’s dream resembles a vacuum.’
Isn’t it natural for Ymir that even insignificant creatures do not appear in dreams?
Kang Nan asked.
“Is this a nightmare? Or do you have no dreams?”
Mongah’s voice was heard.
“The problem is that we don’t know that. But I think it’s more likely a nightmare. If it were truly a vacuum, not only communication but our existence would have been erased.”
Miro said.
“I used shining magic, but the light doesn’t turn on. “How about Sirone Miracle Stream?”
“It’s the same. “It can definitely be cast, but this space is controlling the phenomenon.”
Sein swallowed his saliva.
‘It’s not just a vacuum. A world of power that even ignores Sirone’s abilities. It seemed like maybe
we could be wiped out here…
“There’s something.”
Sirone stopped at the sound of Gaold’s voice and saw eyes floating in the air.
The reason we can see even though there is no light is because that is the only reality of this dream.
“It’s a nightmare.”
Mong-ah said.
“I don’t know why this is a nightmare, but… at least it’s not like Nightmare didn’t work.”
“Hmm, the fear of Ymir.”
Arius rested his chin and analyzed the psychology contained in the keyword “eyes.”
‘Guan Yin observation and surveillance. Or is it the sensory system? It could be a physical weakness.’
Snow has so much symbolism, but at least it was much better than the infinity of a vacuum.
“It’s getting more and more.”
As I walked, the number of pupils continued to increase.
Still, the distance could not be measured, and eventually the darkness was filled with pupils.
‘Multiple eyes. It’s a passive concept. Is it a persimmon poem? Or resistance to voyeurism?’ Miro spoke while Arius continued to think.
“Anke Ra?”
“no.”
Arius stopped walking and opened his spirit zone to feel the number of pupils.
Synesthesia’s insights never go astray, but this time there were too many.
“The number of pupils is approximately 10 billion or more. This is probably the eye of Gaia.”
At first glance, it made sense, but Miro tilted his head.
“But why 10 billion? There are two pairs of eyes. “Then shouldn’t it be over 20 billion
?”
“That’s the key. Why do you have one eye? It is psychological unification. “It’s like friends you hate appearing compressed into one person in your dreams.”
The group listened quietly.
“Then here’s the problem. Why is the concept of the eye itself not unified? “If it’s just a fear of surveillance or voyeurism, wouldn’t one giant eye be enough?”
“well. Because there is Ankhera?”
“That’s also one answer. This is because we avoid conceptually redundant forms. But that doesn’t mean it outputs that many numbers. “Maybe this number itself could be a threat to Ymir.”
Sirone looked up.
“10 billion eyes. “Why is this scary?”
“Because it’s not one.”
Arius continued.
“The eyes also have the meaning of penetrating and materializing. In other words, it is defined by 10 billion eyes. It’s Ymir. And he is afraid of this situation. Therefore…
Arius spun around and aimed at the center of his gaze.
“Ymir is there.” As soon as Arius finished speaking, a shape emerged from the darkness.
Ymir was sitting cross-legged, resting her chin and smiling towards us.
“That is correct.”
“Ymir.”
Everyone took a fighting stance, but honestly, even those who saw them had no idea what stance they were taking.
‘I can’t feel it.’
Because 10 billion eyes don’t define them.
“okay. So to speak… is this a dream?”
Normally, dreams cannot be recognized, but this Mir was not a being in the ordinary category.
“Yes, that’s a good method. “Maybe this is what you’re looking for?”
When Ymir held out his hand, a sphere made of electricity emitted blue light.
‘Ultima System.’
It was almost similar to the one Sirone got from Babel.
“Honestly, I feel bad. No enemy has ever penetrated my mind. Is he really the manager? Well, the world is on the verge of destruction…
Sirone said.
“Hand it over Ymir. “If you are really strong, use your power for the good of the world.”
Ymir readily held out his hand.
“Okay, take it.”
Sirone, who had been watching for a moment, launched himself, but no matter how much he stomped his feet, the distance did not narrow.
‘No, it’s not that problem.’
To be honest, I doubted whether it even had feet.
“Look, you can’t take it. I don’t even know who you guys are. Do you know why?”
Ymir said, tearing the corners of his mouth.
“I don’t even care.”
They are still nothing without 10 billion eyes defining them.
Ymir, who had absorbed the Ultima System with her palms, slowly stood up.
“I’ll tell you, I got a kick out of it. But you’ll have to go through some trouble to meet me. Because my memory is…
Ymir’s figure disappeared into the darkness.
“Because it is the tomb of the gods.”
