Daytime Dream's Star Source Effect allowed Jing Liuli to maintain a "dream state" while awake, sustaining the long-term existence of her "dream butterflies."
At the same time, the dream butterfly Phosphorescent Powder of "Eternal Night Phantom Butterfly" plunged the Star Beasts affected by it into the terror of nightmares.
Those fears would automatically transform into nourishment for "Daytime Dream," making the manifested Dream Creations stronger and more bizarre.
With that, this combination of Star Source and Star Core achieved something like stepping on one's left foot with one's right foot and taking off from the spot.
"Ah, why do I suddenly feel a little sleepy?"
Jing Liuli yawned, then mumbled hazily.
Out on the sea not far from her, countless Star Beasts entangled in nightmares fell into a berserk state and began indiscriminately attacking the other Star Beasts around them.
Meanwhile, Jing Liuli's "Dream Creations" were like calm hunters, continuously harvesting heavily wounded Star Beasts amid the chaos.
Before long, vast numbers of Star Beast corpses floated to the surface. Broken scales, severed limbs, and tentacles drifted everywhere, while blood stained the sea red, turning the place into a horrifying picture scroll worthy of hell.
Yet Jing Liuli, standing at the center of this "hell," remained utterly relaxed.
Ignoring the gruesome battlefield before her, she pulled a pink candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth. As sweetness melted across her tongue, the Dream Creations around her became even more active.
"Sure enough, Sweet Dream Candy only tastes sweetest when eaten with 'nightmares,' after all."
Jing Liuli swung her legs and closed her eyes as she watched another Rank 2 Star Beast on the sea get devoured by her "Dream Creations." Her eyes curved into crescents with a smile.
".Your nightmares are my sweet dreams~"
