Ke Meng entered a dream. The moment he returned to Cthulhu's body, he eagerly used Synesthesia to reach the joint dream.
But entering the joint dream took time. Ke Meng could not simply enter whenever he wanted.
In fact, even without dreaming and becoming Cthulhu, Ke Meng could use his wildly surging spirituality to connect to the joint dream through Synesthesia.
But then he would lack Cthulhu's ability to control dreams and could not immediately alter every harmful factor within it.
Ke Meng waited for a while.
Finally, when Ke Meng entered the dream, he discovered that everything had changed.
Nya's shadow loomed over the entire dream. Not a single Orange Star person remained, nor did any of Cthulhu's believers.
The AIs had vanished too. The dream was empty, save for Nya's immense figure standing in the sky, waiting for Ke Meng to appear.
"What did you do?" Ke Meng asked, his expression dark.
"You're too late. I've already destroyed Orange Star." Nara's voice rang out above the dream, carrying a hint of laughter.
"Do you think this will shake my resolve?"
"No, you're mistaken. I never intended to shake your resolve. I simply enjoy doing this. Whether or not you created this massive joint dream, I would have attacked Orange Star." Nara shook her head, and her figure vanished.
Nara left the joint dream world.
This dream world was utterly deserted.
Ke Meng surveyed everything within the dream. The completed World Tree pierced the clouds, gazing out into the universe.
The factories on the ground stood idle, with no one to tend them.
The Tower of Heaven and the World Tree faced each other from afar. The light of a false sun stretched their shadows out long.
At that moment, Ke Meng sensed the madness and chaos lurking within
