Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

The atmosphere in the bathroom fell into silence. Ye He just asked casually, but he didn't expect that Bartley actually admitted it!
Even it itself is affected, so what exactly is this "influence"?

When Ye He was struggling over whether he should ask Bartley directly, this uniquely shaped white cat lay down and narrowed its eyes playfully at Ye He.

"I can only tell you that this effect occurs in dreams. Every time you wake up, the effect will get worse."

Without Ye He asking, Bartley himself answered what "influence" was.

It was the early morning of November 10th. Bartley, who was tired from running outside, returned to his own private nest to rest. However, when he just fell asleep, he realized that he had entered a dream.

With Bartley's wisdom, he immediately felt that something was wrong, because he was too awake. He was aware that he was in a dream, but he could also feel some changes everywhere around him.

In its eyes, the room is still the same room, and the feel of its own nest has not changed at all, but this space is no longer reality.

The gradually brightening red light outside the window also reminded Bartley that something was wrong.

Just as Bartley hid under the sofa, he heard the sound of Yulia's door opening.

There was a dull sound of footsteps in the living room, and Bartley saw a pair of feet wrapped in round-toed leather boots and white stockings moving.

It looked exactly like Yulia's feet in Bartley's memory.

Is she Yulia?
Bartlett's verdict: No.

This is the Yehe exclusive suite of the Continental Hotel. Every room is covered with carpets. Normally, Yulia would never step on the carpet with her shoes on.

Also, I have already confirmed that this is a dream and I am dreaming. There is no reason why Yulia can run into my dream.

The pair of feet were approaching the sofa. Was “she” coming towards him?

Bartley couldn't be sure, but it quickly closed its eyes.

Since this is a dream...

Bartley's fur quickly turned as dark as ink like Jeppard's. After he closed his eyes, he blended perfectly into the darkness under the sofa.

Then it began to move backwards according to its memory, and without making any noise, it quickly hid under another sofa.

At this time, the footsteps stopped. Bartley opened his eyes and saw the pair of feet from another angle.

Her toes pointed under the sofa where she had just hidden, which meant that this "Yulia" was indeed coming for her.

When Bartley was preparing to see with great interest what this "Yulia" would do... suddenly!
"Yulia"'s head fell off!

Her head was like a rotten persimmon, deformed after falling on the soft carpet, and black, red and white liquids gushed out from the broken neck.

But because Bartley had moved in advance, the head of this "Yulia" was facing under the sofa, and Bartley was no longer there.

Bartley noticed some red light illuminating the bottom of the sofa, which was obviously coming from the face of the fallen head of "Yulia".

The current situation was terrifying enough, but it was still not enough for Bartley. He could only squint his eyes and consider his next move.

By this point, Bartley had realized that this dream was not a "good dream", but that some existence was causing it to have a nightmare, the meaning of which was unclear.

In short, stay away from this "Yulia" for now.

Bartley began to turn his body into black liquid, which then quickly "flowed" along the gaps in the carpet toward the door, and soon left the room through the gap in the door.

This is Jeppard's ability. Bartley and Jeppard are the only two cats in the Continental Hotel. They are very familiar with each other. Bartley has a deep observation of Jeppard's ability.

So while in the dream, Bartlett successfully imitated Jeppard's ability.

This is the difference between cats and humans. Although Jeppard's ability is very strange, for Bartley, he feels that since Jeppard can do it, he should be able to do it too.

Influenced by dreams, it did just that.

It's like a person seeing another person vaulting very high with a pole. Although it's exaggerated, it's acceptable to humans at the common sense level.

When this person is in a dream and is awake enough, his common sense will also give him this ability.

There is no "reality factor" in dreams, and there is no need to worry about getting hurt or making mistakes.

Anyway, Bartlett did just that, and used this ability to leave the room.

But just as it reached the corridor, a black shadow suddenly shot out from the crack of Corinna's room door, ran around the entire corridor in panic, and accidentally bumped into Bartley.

The two black shadows bounced back at the same time, and Bartley immediately returned to his original appearance. A big round black eye opened in the black shadow, and after seeing Bartley, it rushed towards it again.

"Meow." (Calm down!)
While stopping Jeppard, Bartlett slapped the black shadow.

The black shadow lifted up, and the little black cat Jeppard appeared in front of Bartley, with Bartley's right paw still pressing on its forehead.

“Meow! Meow!” (The cat is scared to death! The cat is scared to death! The owner has turned into a monster!)
Jeppard trembled as he complained to Bartley, but Bartley narrowed his eyes.

This girl’s dream...is connected to mine?

The collision and the smell of each other just now made the two cats sure that the other was normal.

"Mee? Mee! Mee!" (What happened here? Bartley, please save me!)
It was as if Jeppard had found a savior, and he kept asking Bartlett for help and psychological comfort.

But Bartlett was annoyed by it, and raised his paw to slap Jeppard on the face.

"Meow." (Shut up, this is a dream, we are not in reality.)
"Mi?" (Mi?) [Interjection expressing doubt]

With Jeppard's intelligence, it simply cannot understand the difference between dreams and reality.

Bartlett had not thought about explaining it clearly to Jeppard. He had tried before and knew that this fellow was just an "ordinary" fellow with special abilities.

But this species is at least obedient and its abilities are useful, so Bartley decided to take it with him.

"Meow." (Anyway, follow me first. Let's go to the rooftop to see what's going on outside. Don't make too much noise.)
After instructing Jeppard, Bartlett shook his body and turned into a pool of liquid again, then quickly "flowed" towards the stairs leading to the rooftop.

Jeppard looked at Bartlett who had turned into white liquid in surprise, not understanding why Bartlett suddenly became the same as himself.

But it suddenly became happy. It was rare to find "something special in common" with Bartley. It also turned into a black shadow and quickly followed.

Two groups of cats, one black and one white, quickly climbed up the stairs and soon flowed through the fence gate to the roof. Finally, they regained their cat bodies together on the edge railing of the roof.

The two cats looked up at the sky together, with expressions of disbelief and astonishment on their faces.

The "red light outside" that Bartlett noticed just now actually came from the eyes of a huge creature in the sky!

Its figure almost covered the entire Sedaver, or more precisely, covered Bartley's entire dream. Eight long black legs that reached the sky and the earth were stationed at the edge of the dream in a slightly bent posture.

It was as if... a giant spider-like creature "held" Bartley's dream in its arms!
But this spider only had one giant eyeball that glowed red, its mouthparts were facing downward, and its densely packed sharp teeth were gnawing in mid-air.

There were many streams of red light flowing out from its eyes, flowing to its mouthparts, passing through the tips of those sharp teeth, and continuously dispersing into the air.

It's... injecting poison into my dreams?
Bartley soon figured out everything. The spider was "poisoning" his dreams, so the head of "Julia" in his dreams was a little melted, which was very similar to the insects injected with digestive fluid by the spider.

But the question is... where did it come from? Why do we have to target our dreams?
Also, are only my dreams affected?
Based on the connection between Jeppard's dream and his own, as well as what happened over there, this "targeting" seems to be a wide-area effect.

Never mind, I can only confirm it when I return to reality, I have to deal with it first...

"Mee!" (What is this?)
Jeppard suddenly reminded Bartley, and he came back to his senses and looked in the direction of Jeppard's vision.

Below and to the side of the two cats, a "black tide" flashing red light was surging on the streets of Cedarville.

Bartley took a closer look and realized that it was not a black tide, but a group of giant one-eyed spiders that were almost the same size as himself!

Where did this monster come from?

"Beep! Pop!"

The movement in the room downstairs told Bartley the origin of these monsters.

The sound of hatching and breaking out of the shell... should come from the body of "Yulia" or "Corinna".

The illusions in their dreams were not only "poisoned" by the giant spider in the sky, but also turned into a nest for hatching offspring!

This is...not easy to handle...

Just when Bartley was considering whether jumping down from here and dying would wake him up from his dream, some rustling sounds came from all directions.

"Mee! Mee! Mee!!!" (They are climbing up!)
It turns out that the swarm of spiders that came like a tide seemed to be targeting the two cats!

At this time, the outer walls of the Continental Hotel were already covered with spiders, and the single eye on their heads was staring at the two cats on the rooftop.

"Tsk..."

Jeppard was horrified, but Bartlett just smacked his lips.

"Mee!!" (Bartlett, please think of a solution! I hate these tasteless little bugs the most!)
You have eaten?
Bartley looked at Jeppard in surprise. Jeppard was so anxious that he could hardly maintain his cat form.

It turns out that Jeppard is not afraid of spiders, but hates spiders. This makes things easier.

"Don't worry, let's see what they can do first. Anyway, we are all liquid, so they can't catch us."

Bartley, who was too lazy to speak cat language, spoke in human language, which made Jeppard look at him in a daze. Jeppard could not understand human language very well.

"Never mind... meow." (Just do the same as me.)
He collapsed again and turned into a pool of white barley, and began to move towards the stairs whence he came, and Jeppard quickly followed suit.

But just as they all turned into liquid, the air around them suddenly became quiet, without any rustling sound.

Realizing that something was wrong, Bartley looked up and saw the giant spider in the sky moving its single eye and staring at him very deliberately.

broken……

Just as Bartley was about to speed up and rush to the stairs, the giant spider in the sky suddenly opened its mouth.

The entire Sedwell, or rather Bartley's entire dream, suddenly turned into a pool of liquid and was sucked into the mouthparts of the big spider.

Bartley and Jeppard were no exception. They had already turned into liquid, and the giant spider devoured them too quickly, leaving them no room to escape.

There was only darkness left in the void. The giant spider stared at its one eye with satisfaction. The red light emanating from the eye seemed to be the only light in this world.

In the darkness, a giant spider seemed to be swimming in liquid, moving forward with its eight thin legs.

Soon, it came to a new dream that looked like an egg-shaped object, and then slowly "huggled" it.

In this dark ocean of dreams, countless dreams are hatching.

In addition to this giant spider, there are countless individuals exactly like it wandering in the darkness, devouring dreams wantonly.

Outside this dark ocean of dreams, an incomparable giant spider is embracing the entire dream ocean belonging to the material world and releasing toxins into the entire ocean.

"Ha ha……"

A human figure, which is extremely "tiny" compared to the spider, is standing quietly on top of the spider's head.

He was none other than the Grand Duke Pegasus of the Abyss whose home was destroyed by the Sword of Heavenly Punishment. This spider was summoned by him and was taking revenge on the entire material world on his behalf.

If no one stops it, once the dream ocean is completely swallowed up by the giant spider, the entire material world will begin the countdown to destruction due to the loss of the "dream".

……

The person is gone, and even Yehe or Krent have not yet noticed his conspiracy.

Those righteous gods are also unable to interfere in the dream realm, especially this kind of attack on the entire dream ocean. They can only protect some of their believers to prevent the "poison" from spreading into the dreams of these believers.

But this behavior is also equivalent to a slow death.

So there is no one who can stop Pegasus...

…but there are cats!

Don't get me wrong, it's not Bartley, and it's not Jeppard.

Instead, it was a cat that quietly opened its eyes behind Pegasus and the giant spider. Just one eye was countless times larger than the entire material world and the entire dream ocean...!

"Hey hey hey..."

The malicious laughter echoed throughout the void, and Pegasus' figure quickly disappeared from the spot.

He jumped into the ocean of dreams, letting the rules of the material world protect him, and then he had the courage to look back at the cat.

"Hey hey hey..."

The malicious smile of the cat caught Pegasus's eyes, and the giant spider that embraced the entire dream ocean and injected poison had long disappeared.

At the same time, behind Pegasus, the spiders that were embracing the dream of independence were shattered one after another!
Their remains gathered behind Pegasus and transformed into an identical cat head, which gave Pegasus the same... malicious smile!
