"Hmm? Who is this?" Nyx muttered as she looked at herself with a strange expression. Jacob suddenly snapped out of his stupor, and his eyes went sharp. The next moment, Nyx turned into her mist form again. "What gives?" She cried annoyingly as she couldn't even look properly before Jacob changed her back. The beautiful garden around them also vanished, and open grass plain appeared with blue sky and nothing else. "Forget you ever see that." Jacob coldly commanded as he got caught up at that moment and couldn't help himself. He wanted to see her once more. But he quickly removes everything because he knows this isn't reality, and he might never be the same if he fell into this illusion. He also got to experience the true power of this Dreamscape Nightmare Realm. He can imagine anything here, and it would appear. "Hehe, what are you talking about? Did I see anything?" Nyx tactically replied as she could feel Jacob's strong emotion at this moment, so she didn't provoke him. Jacob calmed down as he looked at her meaningfully, "You weren't lying about your ability. But I don't think this place has any use to me since it won't follow natural concepts but instead work on my imagination. "There is no point in research here if everything will just turn out to be like I imagine it would. Neither can I practice magic since I have no idea what kind of effect those spells would bring about without even practicing it, so what's the point of having endless magic supply or stamina? Do you get it?" "Hehe, well said, my master, I expect nothing less for someone like you." Nyx giggled playfully, "But don't underestimate my Dreamscape Nightmare Realm and, of course, me! The thing you just described is a Nightmare Contractor Authority over this realm. Since you are the master, you naturally have full authority over it. "But I am the origin of this realm, which means you have authority over my abilities to turn anything into reality in this place. Although the Nightmare Contract can imagine anything, turn it into reality, and even bend it on its whim, it can also be temporarily canceled at will. "Which will give me the control of this realm back. You can call it an Authority Switch which you can whenever turn on and off.
"As for how it will benefit you, once you're in control, you can do anything here. You are the god. But as you said, your imagination would affect this realm, and if you want to research or train, it would be very hard. "However, when I'm in control, you will just like as you are outside. Furthermore, as long as you let me scan the things in reality or from your memories, I can recreate them here, and I can guarantee they will be the same as reality no matter what you do with them. "If you want to research magic, let me scan the manual or equipment. Even living beings' bodies can be duplicated, but they won't have souls and will be just empty husks. "But the experiments will be just real or how it will affect them physically. If you want to create a soul, then maybe in the future, when I'm far more powerful. Anyway, you can do research like reality. If you want to learn alchemy, the same rules apply. "However, there is a restriction to this reality, which is my power level. Right now, I'm an Infancy-Class Primordial Nightmare. To reach the Adolescence-Class, I need to devour a massive amount of Dream Realms. So, my reality creation ability here will also be restricted to Infancy-Class! "Oh, and right now, the time runs three times faster than the reality here. 1 second outside means three seconds here." Nyx explained in great detail about the Dreamscape Nightmare Realm works, This left Jacob astounded since the thing he considered wasn't even one at all.
"How do you scan these things? You said your body is now merged with my dreamscape realm, and you can only exist in dreams. Furthermore, how strong is this Infancy-Class compared to the power levels I know?" He questioned. "As my Nightmare Contractor, I can share your vision as long as you let me, so it won't be a problem to scan anything as long as it is in your vision and that thing is not much stronger than me. "My body is indeed now incapable of leaving or separating from you, and I won't die until you die, no matter how strong I am from you. I guess this is a price to pay for having all this power. "But as I explained before, I can invade people's dreams and then devour their dreamscape realms as long as they are not too powerful from me. Dreams are the opposite of reality, and they are vulnerable and fragile if not protected properly. "For me, as long as there are openings, I can use my ability, Nightmare Conqueror, to send a Nightmare Conqueror Seed to my victim. Thereby, the Nightmare Conqueror seed will be bloomed by devouring the victim's dreamscape realm. Once there's nothing left, it will return to me with a dreamscape realm and that victim's lifespan before I will devour it!
"To answer your second question, I have no idea where I stand in your power system with Infancy-Class. I guess we should find soon as long as my master lets me scan some items or prepare 'food' for me." Nyx laughs coquettishly. Jacob, however, felt a chill in his spine when he heard about the Nightmare Conqueror ability. It's simply too terrifying, and one only imagines slowly falling victim to it without even realizing it until it's too late. While Nyx will remain safe with him even if this is found out, this is simply too heaven-defying, and even he feels jealous. Eve Autarch wasn't this strong! How can someone protect themselves from an attack they can't even predict or see?
As for the power level, Jacob guessed it had to be above epic rank, or this would be meaningless. He would naturally find out until he scans items in his possession. He had unique rank items as well. Then Jacob suddenly had a question and asked, "Did the Dark Beings have Dreamscape Realms?" "No, the Dark Beings don't have Dreamscape Realms, but Dark Nightmare Realms. Unlike the living, who can experience both Dreams and Nightmares, the Dark Beings can only see Nightmares. "Furthermore, the Dark Nightmare Realms of Dark Beings are even more beneficial for me than the living's Dreamscape Realm. But the only downside is I would not get any lifespan from them." Nyx explained. Jacob was astonished to hear this piece of information. He never expected even the dead would have the ability to see the nightmares. Still, the part about lifespan didn't sound strange anymore after his discovery of life crystals. Those guys increased their lifespan after absorbing it from the living, so in a sense, they don't have their own lifespan at all. "What other abilities do you have?"
