After staring at each other for a while, the deity felt she had nothing more to say to Leticia. She would rather spend her time finding more dreams to strengthen herself instead of arguing with this person.
Although the energy she had collected was already more than enough, who would dislike having too much energy?
More energy meant a greater chance of success in future plans. For the sake of freedom, the deity could temporarily tolerate Leticia’s posturing in front of her.
To deal with the girl in front of her, to be honest, was quite difficult. If the deity had enough time, she could surely handle Leticia properly.
And the energy Leticia could provide would definitely be a lot, enough to satisfy her completely. The only problem was that it would take too much time.
The deity couldn’t wait that long. Even if Leticia’s final reward was more than the dreams she had harvested over many days, she would still choose the latter, which yielded faster results.
After all, that energy could be readily and easily consumed, whereas Leticia’s energy was still uncertain.
Watching the girl with colorful long hair leave, Leticia curled herself up somewhat bored. Her physical body was sleeping in reality, and her spirit was gradually recovering in this state.
It felt like she hadn’t had a normal dream in a while. Every time she woke up in the dreamscape, she was in someone else’s dream.
“Hey, do you know why I’m here?” After thinking about it, Leticia couldn’t figure it out. So, when the deity girl returned carrying a gray light sphere, Leticia asked, “Did you know why I’m here?”
Hearing the question, the deity didn’t remain silent as she had last time. Instead, while tying a thin thread to the gray light sphere, she shook her head and replied, “Gods are not omniscient or omnipotent. I wish I knew why you could enter this divine domain of mine, but I don’t have time to waste on trivial matters like this right now.”
If given the chance, the deity would also like to figure out what was wrong with Leticia, but she didn’t have the leisure for research at the moment.
“If you’re still alive after I regain my freedom, perhaps I can help you find the answer. For now, you should obediently stay here and wait for me to break free from my restraints.” The deity secured the gray light sphere, turned around, and walked in the direction she came from.
“What are those strings you’re tying to those balls? Energy conduits?”
“Do you think I’m an idiot to answer such a question?” The deity said with some helplessness. With their current relationship, were they in a position to discuss such things?
Leticia pouted, “Who knows? There are always villains who answer questions to highlight their strength. Maybe you’re one of them?”
“Then I can tell you now that I am not that kind of idiotic villain. I am just a god who desires freedom.” The deity rolled her eyes, indicating she wasn’t stupid. “I can’t be bothered with you right now, but don’t bother me either, or even if I don’t work, I’ll make sure you can’t sleep well every night.”
Isn’t that a bit too cruel? Leticia’s expression drooped. Such a threat was really hard to accept.
Not sleeping well at night would lead to a lack of energy during the day, which was a substantial and real form of damage.
No, she had to find a way to eliminate this guy to prevent future trouble!
Watching the girl’s retreating back, Leticia made up her mind in her heart.
For the next period, Leticia became much more obedient. She couldn’t control her direction of movement and could only float around in space. Occasionally, she would bump into the light spheres tied with thin threads and see the diverse worlds within them.
However, she couldn’t enter them. The outer shells of these light spheres were very hard. Leticia felt their hardness far exceeded that of diamonds in the real world.
She also tried to push these light spheres with her hands, hoping to use the reaction force to push herself away. But she could only push the light spheres away, not herself.
Until the deity returned carrying a large bunch of light spheres, like a balloon vendor.
“My goodness.” Looking at the large pile of light spheres in the deity’s hands, Leticia felt her previous actions were rather pathetic.
She had painstakingly destroyed the dreams, only for this deity to bring back so many dreams in one trip. Didn’t that make Leticia’s actions seem meaningless?
“Why are you so surprised?” The deity floated to Leticia’s side and pushed Leticia away from the light spheres. “The dreamers of these dreams have weak mental power. They are easily manipulated.”
“But this scene is still too shocking,” Leticia said helplessly. “I thought destroying so many dreams would give you a headache, but seeing you bring back so many dreams in one go kind of blew my mind.”
Hearing Leticia say that, the girl, who had always had a cold expression, suddenly chuckled, “Who do you think I am? Your little actions are useless to me.”
“Hmph, don’t get ahead of yourself. Although I haven’t achieved anything, I already know who you really are!” Leticia said indignantly.
In response, the deity’s attitude surprised Leticia again. She tilted her head and said indifferently, “So what if you know?”
“Don’t you believe me? I can just report you and get you arrested.”
“If you really wanted to do that, your white-haired friend would have arrested me already.” The deity revealed an expression that showed everything was under control. “Am I correct, Qianqian Jie, from Xiao Ya’s mouth?”
“…” How could that girl Xiao Ya tell everyone everything! Leticia mentally scolded Xiao Ya.
Moreover, the deity wasn’t even pretending anymore. Her confidence must mean something was wrong!
When would bad guys be so confident?
Obviously, when a bad guy believes he has won and nothing can stop him, he becomes confident.
“Where do you think I am now?” The deity chuckled, “You guys don’t really think that little bracelet can restrict my actions, do you?”
Her plan was imminent. Today, she had already transferred her main body to the safest place. As for that bracelet? It was quite simple to destroy.
“Are you planning to tomorrow…”
“Who knows? Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow. I have a lot of time, so you can keep guessing.”
No, if she really planned to act tomorrow, she had to tell Bai Ling and the others!
Thinking of this, Leticia immediately wanted to control herself to wake up from the dream. But unlike the previous instant disconnections, this time her disconnection progress was ridiculously slow.
If before it was like flying on a plane, now it was equivalent to riding a bicycle. The waking process that used to take only a few seconds was now extended to at least tens of minutes!
“What did you do?” Without even thinking, Leticia knew this must be the deity’s doing. Only this deity could do something like this!
“I’ve created a little trouble for you. You can’t be that petty, can you? You can cause trouble for me, but I can’t cause trouble for you?” The deity said with a chuckle. “Alright, it’s getting light outside. I won’t waste any more time here with you. When you wake up from the dream, you might see an even more beautiful world.”
After saying that, the deity shamelessly pinched Leticia’s cheek. “Consider this the interest I’ve collected. Goodbye, little girl.”
The deity’s figure shattered like bubbles and disappeared. Leticia was once again alone in this magnificent dreamscape. However, at this moment, Leticia was no longer in the mood to admire the scenery. She had to hurry to break free from here.
As she struggled, in the blind spot of her vision, light spheres began to merge with each other.
At first, it was just one light sphere merging with another. Then, more and more light spheres began to merge, and in the end, even a dozen light spheres were devouring each other.
By this time, Leticia was almost out of this world. She saw this shocking scene and wanted to investigate further, but she couldn’t control her consciousness from rising.
Forget it. The most important thing now was to tell Bai Ling and the others about the deity’s plan and let them be prepared.
As for this gargantuan dream that was about to appear here, she would put it aside for now.
“Phew, what time is it?” Leticia abruptly opened her eyes and looked out the sunlit window. She picked up her phone from the bedside. “Good, it’s not afternoon yet.”
She quickly dialed Bai Ling’s number. The call wasn’t answered immediately this time, but after a while, it was picked up.
“I’m in a parent-teacher conference. What’s wrong?” Bai Ling’s voice came from the receiver, slightly calming Leticia’s pounding heart.
“That guy might cause trouble today. By the way, didn’t Zi Meng come to school today? Is her bracelet broken?” Leticia asked anxiously.
However, Bai Ling’s answer was beyond Leticia’s expectations.
“No, she’s here, and her father has also come.” Bai Ling looked through the window at Zi Meng sitting in the classroom with a middle-aged man beside her. The girl showed no unusual signs, and even the bracelet in her hand was real.
If you said she was causing trouble, Bai Ling didn’t really believe it.
If she was causing trouble, wouldn’t she appear here so openly? Wouldn’t she find a place to hide?
Zi Meng today was too normal, almost the same as the previous few days. Bai Ling truly believed that even if Zi Meng wanted to cause trouble, she wouldn’t choose today.
“Hiss…” Leticia was confused. Could it be that the deity in the dream was creating a diversion? Was she deliberately deceiving her?
Perhaps she was just too tired and mistook a dream for reality?
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep a close eye on her, especially today. I can stare at her with impunity,” Bai Ling said to Leticia. Although she didn’t think Zi Meng would cause trouble today, this speculation came from Leticia, so Bai Ling would undoubtedly believe what Leticia said.
She knew her mind wasn’t very sharp, and most of the time, listening to Leticia was the best choice, at least Leticia had a reason and was trustworthy.
“Okay, then you must watch her closely. I’ll think more about whether something went wrong somewhere.” Leticia was a bit touched by Bai Ling’s hundred percent trust. If it were anyone else, they would have questioned her judgment, but Miss Bai, without saying anything, simply said, “I believe you.”
How could that not be touching? Anyway, Leticia was very touched.
“Okay, I’ll hang up now, the parent-teacher conference is only halfway through.”
Bai Ling hung up the phone. Leticia put down her phone and began to think, holding her head.
She was thinking whether she had been tricked by that deity.
Putting it that way, there was a possibility of being tricked, and quite a high one. Not many people knew her identity (her disguise), but coincidentally, one of them had already been dealt with by the deity.
Our “Blondie,” he was lost in fabricated dreams, being praised daily for defeating monsters with the title of SSS-class hero.
And his memories were very likely acquired by the deity, which definitely contained information related to her, such as her name and her relationship with Bai Ling.
Alas, you see, sometimes teammates can be so annoying.
Of course, Leticia never expected her identity to be so secret. Her current identity was just that of an ordinary girl, and what was most important was hidden beneath that identity.
And that deity clearly didn’t know Leticia’s true identity, otherwise, she would have directly called Leticia “Demon King” instead of mockingly calling her “Qianqian Jie.”
Blondie didn’t know her identity, and Xiao Ya wouldn’t be stupid enough to tell Zi Meng, her good friend, everything.
The identity of Demon King was still too terrifying.
“She wants me to suspect Zi Meng, to focus all my attention on Zi Meng, and ignore her actions elsewhere?” Leticia couldn’t help but overthink. For her, the communication with the deity was one-sided, and everything was just the deity talking to herself.
So, was it possible that this deity was creating a diversion? Was everything before done to divert attention?
Highly likely, very likely.
As soon as she thought of this, Leticia’s thoughts couldn’t stop. Her train of thought seemed unprecedentedly clear, operating at high speed. She even considered whether she had already been tricked, and whether the deity’s plan was already secretly underway somewhere.
Those light spheres merging since she woke up might be a hint that the deity’s plan was starting!
