Who Do You Think You Are?
"Swallowed it?!"
Seeing the dream demon girl... no, the little loli being swallowed whole by a pill, Moberi was completely stunned. Fortunately, he still had some basic survival instincts, which made him forcibly suppress the urge to scream. He forced his attention back to the teacher who was going to continue explaining the problem after a few words, but his mind was in complete turmoil.
"How is that possible? That's a follower of the Lord of Incubus, how could it be subdued by the power of dreams? You must know, the Lord of Incubus is stronger than the God of Sweet Dreams and the God of Nightmares, possessing both the power of the Dream Realm and the power of dreams. In the current Dream System without a chief god, he is a powerful deity who can compete for a place among the top three! Could it be that the creator of this dream is a chief god?"
Moberi's thought had barely formed when he suppressed it. Dreams are only a small part of the mind, and it is generally accepted that they cannot give birth to a god-level deity!
But if that's the case, then the current situation...
"Could it have been accidentally swallowed? Does that mean the Lord of Incubus will descend soon?"
As a resident of this world where gods roam everywhere, Moberi was very experienced in the ways of the gods. Gods would not pay much attention to a single believer, but when a follower was captured or attacked, it was equivalent to slapping the gods in the face, and the nature of the matter was completely different.
Believers are a resource that everyone is vying for; it's normal competition for me to take them from you and for you to take them from me. But followers are like pets I keep; if you dare to touch them, you're overstepping your bounds!
"A legendary war of gods! Please don't let me get caught up in it!"
Moberi prayed silently, when suddenly he felt a whooshing sound as he approached. Before he could react, a sharp pain shot through his forehead as if he'd been struck with a sledgehammer. Then, a piece of chalk fell onto the table.
"Everyone says this is the key point, how dare you daydream! It seems you already know it, so let me explain the solution!"
"Ah!" Moberi looked up at the problem on the blackboard, and suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Luckily, he knew how to do this one!
While Moberi was busy solving the problem, in Class C, which was also having a math class, Paril suddenly heard a scream. Then, she saw a white-haired, red-eyed, enormous-breasted loli fall from the ceiling. But as soon as she reached her seat, before the teacher could even reprimand her, she suddenly burst into a tirade:
"Damn it, do you know who I am? I am the servant of the Lord of Incubus, the great Incubus Li..."
"You bastard!" Before the white-haired loli could finish her shout, a scarlet piece of chalk, reeking of blood, smashed into her head, instantly piercing through her skull. Brain matter and bright red liquid splattered everywhere.
Paril suppressed the urge to scream, but was thankful that she was relatively far away from the white-haired loli. Then, she saw a huge mouth suddenly appear and swallow the headless corpse that was still convulsing. While chewing, it also stuck out its tongue and licked the crumbs that fell around it, as well as the brains and blood on the surrounding classmates.
Some of the students who had been licked by the tongue had blank expressions, some were indifferent, and some looked terrified, but none of them dared to make a sound.
Only after the gigantic maw had completely cleared everything did the teacher silently say:
"Okay, let's continue!"
"Gulp..." Paril swallowed hard, but realized the sound was quite loud. She immediately covered her throat, nervously glancing at the podium. Seeing that the teacher didn't intend to throw the chalk, she breathed a slight sigh of relief and focused on memorizing the solution steps on the blackboard...
"You bastards, how dare you touch me! The Lord of Incubus will not let you get away with this!"
Crunch, chew...
"Don't think you can make me submit. Do you even know what I do?"
Crunch, chew...
"That's it? I've seen way more freaks than this, this is nothing..."
smack, chew...
"Come on, you little punk! You think you can hurt me? This is the most basic way to play, you know... you need to..."
Pop, chew...
"Would you like me to teach you something more advanced...?"
chuckle, chewing...
"How long do you think this guy can keep up his Tough Talk?" In the principal's office, the Miss Ke Family watched the Succubus being thrown into a lower class while cursing on the monitor, then turned to look at Feng Xue had a wicked look on her face.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xue simply shrugged and said:
"Who knows? I think she's just stubbornly clinging to the idea that her dream is immortal. But it's alright. The school's current setting is that each level down adds a layer of Mental Pollution. I'll just slow down the descent speed a bit so she can fully experience it."
"You really are a pervert!" The Miss Ke Family felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Feng Xue's amused expression.
"That's it? That's it? That's it? Minion!" The white-haired, red-eyed loli succubus suddenly felt the intervals between her pains increasing, and the frequency of being swallowed began to decrease. Her voice, which had already softened somewhat, became intense again, even uttering the business lines she only used when Tag a "Imp," but...
Why does it feel a little different?
The loli Succubus blinked, recovering from the shock of being chewed up, and found herself sitting in a classroom with only one desk. The air was thick with the smell of blood. On the platform, a teacher, whose body was covered in festering sores and pus, looking like a corpse that had died in the summer and had been left unburied for three months, was staring at her with a pair of green eyes.
A feeling of nausea and chills washed over her. Although she had experienced all sorts of outrageous dreams throughout her career, she had never seen anything as disgusting as this before.
"Vomit!"
Even with the Succubus's experience of indulging in everything, including the most extreme flavors, she couldn't help but feel nauseous. However, she didn't linger on that level for long, because the next moment, she was swallowed up again.
The pain from chewing slowly didn't cause the Succubus much suffering; on the contrary, it relieved her previous nausea. However, when her vision cleared again, something even more disgusting came into view.
The teacher, holding a large, swollen, highly rotten larva, crawling with all sorts of indescribable things, spoke in a voice like a damp, moldy rag:
"I don't care whether you want to study properly or not. I'll just teach my lesson and don't cause trouble."
As he spoke, he picked up the larva in his hand and pressed it onto the blackboard, smearing symbols with green sap, while continuously explaining the precautions for differentiation.
The nightmare's face had begun to turn green. As the "larval chalk" was applied, a strange smell lingered at the tip of her nose. She suppressed the spasm in her throat but dared not utter another word.
Because she knew that if she continued to hurl insults, she would inevitably witness something even more unbearable...
In mythology, the only major deities whose primary ability is dream manipulation seem to be Brahma (or Vishnu) and Azathoth, with Azathoth incorporating elements from Brahma's legends. However, there are also dream gods, who, in our tradition, belong to the minor deity of the Night Roaming God, equivalent to a low-level civil servant, and their primary job isn't actually dream manipulation (their primary job is recording good and evil deeds and reporting to the Heavenly Emperor). There are also Dream Controlling God, often mentioned in traditional operas; Lü Dongbin seems to have held this position, but Lü Dongbin controlling dreams... Pure Yang Dream, right? Hmm, that seems to fit the characteristic of ancient operas that often include subtle, veiled jokes (if you don't understand, read the original story of Sun Wukong's battle against the Yellow Robe Monster at the Little Leiyin Temple).
