Ever since confirming the existence of the "Dream Divine Abomination" within Earth's time-space, a piece of information he had obtained in the "Testing Time-Space" had lodged in Ronan's heart like a sharp thorn.
It was something Field Officer Yunbo and Field Officer Wang Zhen had once told him:
At the height of the Lord of Illusory Nightmare's power, it could consign "reality" to "dreams," turning tangible things in the material world into "dreams." A person, a region, even a planet or an entire star system could all be transformed into a dream. It could replace the real laws of the universe with the laws of an empty dream, reducing the accomplishments humanity and its civilizations had built to nothing at their very foundations.
Of course, there was a prerequisite to that claim: only the Lord of Illusory Nightmare at the peak of its strength could achieve it. Comparatively speaking, even when the "Dream Divine Abomination" was at its most monstrous, it had failed to reproduce such an outcome.
Yet the chaotic structure of "Inner and Outer Earth," where reality and illusion were impossible to distinguish, lay right before Ronan's eyes.
Even if it was only a guess, he could not deny the possibility. And within such a disordered Space-Time Structure, perhaps there was no need for complete "dreamification." If only a portion—some unknown portion—had been mixed into it, that alone would already be terrifying.

But it was not fear alone; there was also the helplessness born from a gap in levels too vast to bridge in a short time.
What if it was proven true?
And if there was nothing
