As one of the only two beings among all the root remnants that even [Father] finds unfathomable, the brain of the Lord of Dream Rest may not be very handy, but it is undeniably powerful.

With sixty main chasms and over seven hundred densely branched twigs, every expansion and contraction of the brain of the Lord of Dream Rest, who has devoured all his kin, sees hundreds of thousands of dreams come and go. Including the inter-reflective relationship between dream and reality, a single thought is enough to birth 840,000 complete dreams.

To defeat him, one must delve into his brain and within a single thought, shatter all these so-called million dreams. Even [Father], who has replicated all powers and truths related to dreams and has control over dreams only second to him, lacks the confidence to achieve this.

In a certain sense, this Dream Resting Master, once forced to the brink countless times by [Father] and left with only a brain, might be the most difficult to defeat among all root remnants.

"Don't move!"

After pinning down the thrush that suddenly began to tremble as the brain of the Dream Resting Master expanded, Omnia Cicada couldn't help but warn with a darkened face:

"You better stay here! If we get too far, it might be too late to flee, but if you leave us two, you might still not survive!"

Bullshit! If I trust you again, I'm an idiot!

Not taking even half a word of Omnia Cicada's warning to heart, the thrush, sensing the impending [Disaster], instinctively decided to shake off Omnia Cicada's hand and flee as far as possible.

Yet, just as the thrush was about to make a clean getaway, a cold hand gently touched the back of his head, slipping easily through flesh as if stirring water, with two sharp, pointy nails lightly pricking behind the thrush's eyeballs.

"Ah!!!"

Unable to suppress a cry of pain, the thrush, feeling the terrifying sting spread throughout his brain, roared with bulging eyes and green veins from the pain:

"What have you done to me..."

"Shut up!"

Withdrawing his hand from the frightened mind of the thrush, Omnia Cicada wiped the scorch marks of fear off his hand while disdainfully gesturing with his chin to the side of the thrush.

"See for yourself!"

See what? What now could possibly... Holy shit?!

"Do you see it?"

Glancing at the dumbfounded thrush, Omnia Cicada, who had temporarily shared a part of his truth with him, couldn't help but take a look at the vast array of wills gathered around, then coldly reminded him:

"There wasn't much commotion when we arrived, and not many noticed. But as we've lingered outside the Dream Rest chasm for so long, other Masters have already sensed something is amiss.

At least five other beings on par with the Dream Resting Master are intensely watching from here, capable of intervening at any moment, or even arriving in person! Do you think they'd be interested in a lone pillar god?"

"Then... what about you..."

"I have the protection granted by [Father], capable of temporarily shielding the prying of other Masters."

Showing the secret tower inscription in his palm, Omnia Cicada warned expressionlessly:

"[Father] usually has a very gentle personality, and even with someone as futile as you, he can be endlessly lenient. But when he earnestly advises you, you'd better obediently comply!"

"I... I will..."

You better!

Sneering at the subdued thrush, Omnia Cicada did not retract the truth he temporarily shared but let it spread through the thrush's eyes while he turned back to face the fully expanded brain of the Dream Resting Master.

Previously, in dealing with the Food God, it was more of a sneak attack, so the Dream Resting Master did not go all out. Not only did he not use the main chasm, but he also didn't even utilize the brain's branches, merely extending an end twig towards the Food God's dream domain, making it not surprising that the Food God managed to break free.

But now it seems infuriated by the Food God, attacking with full force regardless of the toll, unfolding the brain that could accommodate 840,000 dreams at once. Facing pressure 840,000 times greater than before, even the Food God should not be able to withstand it... 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

How is this possible?!?!?!?!

Watching Leon, who became a bright spot of light, shuttle back and forth within countless dreams adorned under the brain gyrus of the Dream Resting Master, not only did Omnia Cicada widen his eyes in shock, but also the wills of other root remnants around fell into chaos.

Those aren't ordinary dreams! They're dreams personally crafted by the Dream Resting Master!

Even True Gods with dream powers, or pillar gods who mastered dream truths, are doomed to lose themselves when facing the oppression of this source of dreams, endlessly wandering through infinite dreams until their spirit is exhausted, and they half-permanently drown in them. But the Food God...

Not only does he manage to escape from the dream each time, but also increasingly faster!

Watching Leon, who, no matter how the dream is adjusted, always suddenly awakens after spacing out, the brain of the Dream Resting Master couldn't help but fall into confusion, feeling a spine-chilling needle-like sensation.

This cannot be!

He's clearly not using any root resistance, his will and memories completely erased by me, so why does he wake up so quickly? Could he really surpass me within dreams?!!!

"Lord of Dream Rest."

Under the amazed and fearful gaze of the Dream Resting Master, Leon, who had awoken from the dream once again — after who knows how many times — habitually tucked in sleeping Anna and the two little mischievous ones, then sat by the old bed, looking up with a calm expression to ask:
