"Just like that, it traveled for a very, very long time, recording everything. This world was originally not rich, but the creatures brought by 'God' completely enriched this place."
"Whether it was in a dream or in reality."
"As for those creatures, I'm sure you've encountered them before … That's right, they're creatures that are very similar to The Fool. They know how to use tools and seem to be relatively intelligent. They were created by 'God.' He mixed the glowing fragments with the first few creatures that had brains. Slowly, they developed into creatures with 'souls.'"
"There are many of them, but they do not have an advantage in this world. They live in fear … I have seen them, and I can feel their fear."
This was an underground cave.
On the ground covered in sand, there was something that looked like a tree trunk. Some information was continuously being sent out from its body. This information was sent to a … spider made of stone in front of it.
The rock spider and the creator chatted for a long time. Most of the time, it was the creator who was talking. It talked about two worlds and the history of a race called 'Se'.
Lin still remembered things from the past. That kind of thing was not so easy to forget.
The spiral creature … the creator who only had brain cells left. It was because of Se that it became like that.
At that time, the most important memory was blurry. The spiral creature did not seem to know how its brain cells were separated.
Now, Lin finally knew.
This was done by that thing called 'God'. This method seemed to be quite effective against the creator. And it knew. It seemed to separate the creator's brain cells instead of killing it. Then, there would not be any more problems later.
Lin should have encountered these problems before. For example, the creator's body later exploded, and then it grew a large number of structures that looked like hyphae and sent out signals.
This kind of situation was difficult to avoid because the creator's remains were quite difficult to clean up, so sending its brain away seemed to be a good way.
And the creator was also … shocked by this situation.
It found it hard to believe that there was such a creature that could defeat them so completely, but it did not retreat. It was in this world. The one it was trying to fight … was this God.
Lin still had many questions, so she wanted to let the creator continue talking.
"You've said a lot," Rock Spider said to the Creator, "… But, how do you know all this?"
"Because I met it, Fluffy."
"Encountered … it?"
"That's right, the only researcher among the fifty Se's."
"Do you wonder? After all, it had been a long time since they first came here, but it was indeed still alive and had recorded everything it had seen, and I had obtained its records and learned all of this. I know what I have to face. "
"That's right. This god told it, told this researcher, including how it dealt with my kind before, and some other things. "
"This' god 'has another name. Although it is Se's object of worship, other creatures prefer to call it Dream Eater."
"This is a strange creature, Fluffy. You know, energy creatures exist because of dreams. Dreams are maintained by various things, such as cores or those dream blocks … But this creature is different."
"It can create a dreamscape around it."
"This world originally did not have a dreamscape, but after it arrived, after some time … a dreamscape environment appeared in this world."
"Like I said before, the researcher saw the world's darkness recede … Of course, that was not darkness. Darkness only meant that the dreamscape did not extend to an area. When the dreamscape expanded, the entire world also lit up."
"You mean …" Rock Spider asked, "This' Dream Eater 'used dreamscape energy to surround this entire world?"
"That's right, Fluffy," the Creator said. "But its energy was not born out of thin air. It had 'eaten' a large portion of the dreamscape energy from Se's original world, and then it spread this energy here to create a new dreamscape world."
"You want to know, since it can create dreamscapes, why is it called 'Dream Eater'? And that is the reason. "
"But, it ate up all the energy from the original world?" Rock Spider asked. Lin felt that this creature was not that big, so how could it contain the dreamscape of an entire world?
"No," the researcher said. "It was only a small portion, not enough to cover the entire world. So, most of the dreamscape in this world was created later on. This took a long time, and it was much slower than the initial expansion."
"As the dreamscape expanded, the creatures inside started to multiply … All of this was recorded by the researcher."
Rock Spider asked, "Do you want this world as well?"
"This world is not perfect," the researcher said. The creator said, "You've noticed it, Fluffy. It's different from the world of the brain spirits … The dreamscape of those brain spirits is harder to be detected by the real world. You can say that it's an independent space that belongs to them, but the dreamscape created by this Dream-Eater overlaps with the real world."
"Reality and it influence each other. It is not perfect, it is not what I want."
"But … even though the Dream Eater's dreamscape is different from the Brain Spirit's, this does not stop it from becoming the 'vessel' of the core. Those core creatures have transferred the core to the Dream Eater!" the researcher said. "They have combined a perfect world with an imperfect object!"
"I want to … destroy them."
"But they seemed to have noticed me beforehand, so they attacked me." The researcher pointed at himself with a tentacle. "My body might have been mistaken for a part of the core because I was in contact with the transfer ritual, so I was transported here. I can't be sure."
"After arriving here, they immediately began to hunt me down."
"The Dream Eater … is pursuing you?" Lin thought about the tentacles from before and asked, "Those tentacles outside, is it the Dream Eater that made you unable to control them?"
