“Is this also the result of magic power?”
“Yes. There are so many types of magic power that I just can’t explain every single one of them. It’s a power that transcends the four fundamental forces, the ultimate solution to the great unification, if that makes sense to you,” Lan explained mildly. “Nevertheless, it doesn’t mean that you can enter God’s territory and interfere with the Battle of Divine Will. This world is an independent one. It’s protected by a thick membrane. That’s why I can sit here and talk to you.”
For some reason, Lan’s explanation reminded Roland of bubble blowing. Among those floating bubbles, one of them housed the Dream World. He then asked, “Then how do I penetrate it?”
“The same way the magic power enters our world — through the Erosion.”
“Er… could you tell me more about it?”
“You should have already noticed that this world has changed a lot,” Lan resumed, and Roland could feel his heart beat frantically in his chest. “At first, it was just a reflection of your mind, but there are now many things you’ve never seen before. The change started when you began to collect the Forces of Nature.”
“You even know that?” Roland exclaimed in surprise.
“I’ve been wandering about in the Realm of Mind since I was born, so I can sense even the most subtle change.” Lan continued, “Listen, child. Both the Dream World and God’s territory are driven by magic power. We call it the Force of Nature. When you continue to collect them, this world will expand and overlap with God’s territory. That’s the reason why Erosions appear.”
Roland had heard about this theory during the orientation. He thus said, “As far as I know, the Martialist Association has collected many cores of the fallen Force of Nature. If you want to collect as many of them as you can, why not just support the the Fallens?”
To Roland’s surprise, Lan did not object his proposal but simply summoned a bitter smile. “Unfortunately, I’m just the Defender’s student. I can’t take you to the central hub in the Prism City.”
“You don’t mind turning against the Association?”
“If it could stop the Battle of Divine Will, I won’t. Once the Battle of Divine Will ends, there’ll be no Erosion in the Dream World, so in a way, I’m still helping the Association. But that child… She’ll be very disappointed, for she has put so much faith in you.”
Lan suddenly put up a very regretted look as she said these words.
Was she referring to Garcia?
Roland was a little surprised that Lan had such a deep affection toward Garcia. As a God’s servant, she should have lived hundreds of years, and nothing should have been able to perturb her mind.
Was she acting or was she actually too involved in her role?
“Well, this isn’t the only way.” Roland wanted to get some coffee to ease up the tension in the air when he suddenly realized that the cup was already broken. He thus withdrew his hand and said, “You also said that I have to enter the Realm of Mind in the two worlds simultaneously, right? Perhaps, by that time, we would have had enough cores. The only problem is that how I am supposed to know that the Dream World has already overlapped with God’s territory? We can’t really enter God’s territory from the Erosion in the Prism City, can we?”
“Of course not. The hollow created by the Erosion there is the area of nothingness in the Realm of Mind. It’s completely a different thing,” Lan said while nodding. “As for when the Erosion will affect God’s territory, you’ll know when that day comes. However, this will also mark the beginning of the destruction of the two worlds. Therefore, you must find a way to the Bottomless Land before that.”
“And then?”
Lan shook her head.
