Chapter 675: Chapter 675

In the surprised expression of Director Pisces, the small seashell she held trembled suddenly, and a puddle of gorgeous phantasms flowed out from the hole just blown with bubbles.

In the astonished gaze of the crowd, the phantasm, more magnificent than a rainbow, swirled slightly, and finally condensed into the image of a female mermaid, who asked expectantly amidst the haze:

"Has the third assessment begun? You... huh? How did you become ?"

No... who the heck are you?

Facing the suddenly appearing "Colorful Fantasy Mermaid", Leon glanced at Director Pisces, who also looked bewildered, and cautiously stepped forward, trying to respond:

"Her Excellency Pisces encountered some trouble, and this promotion assessment may have to be paused. May I ask who you are..."

"Paused? How can it be paused?"

Upon hearing Leon’s words, the Colorful Fantasy Mermaid suddenly became anxious, her eyes wide open in a cloud-like hue, and she exclaimed angrily:

"You promised! You signed a contract with me! How can the assessment be stopped just like that? You are not trustworthy!" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel·fire.net

So what the heck are you doing?

Looking at the somewhat agitated Colorful Fantasy Mermaid before him, Leon was baffled and had to continue asking:

"It’s not about trust; Her Excellency Pisces really isn’t available right now, so it can’t be considered a deliberate breach... May I inquire what contract you signed with us? Also, what is your identity?"

"Who am I? You are currently in my [Paradise Lost] fragments! And you still ask who I am?"

Paradise Lost fragments?

Upon hearing this, Leon was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized.

The [Dream-Playing Colorful Fungus] that brought him and the other Cleaners into the Dream Realm was a special plant growing in [Paradise Lost], which itself is the "exclusive weapon" of the Goddess of Pleasure Dreams, so...

"Are you the Goddess of Pleasure Dreams?"

"Of course! If I were not the Goddess of Pleasure Dreams, would I still be the King of Nightmares?"

The Colorful Fantasy Mermaid snorted upon hearing, then slightly lifted her chin, urging:

"Stop dawdling, quickly contact the Clean-up Bureau, and send someone over to host the third assessment! You’ve signed the contract!"

Third assessment... contract...

Listening to these repeatedly mentioned words, Leon squinted his eyes, then politely inquired:

"May I ask why you want us to continue the assessment? Also, what contract did the bureau sign with you?"

"The content of your third assessment is the contract you signed with me!"

The Colorful Fantasy Mermaid seemed somewhat impatient but explained reluctantly:

"Your third assessment is to execute a massive group task, and the specific content is to help me ascend back to the divine position and reunite the shattered Paradise Lost."

In the description of [Dream-Playing Colorful Fungus], it indeed mentioned that the Goddess of Pleasure Dreams was once trapped in her own vivid dream, causing a massive collapse of Paradise Lost, but... why would the Clean-up Bureau help her?

"Tsk... really troublesome..."

Seeing the trace of suspicion in Leon’s eyes, the Colorful Fantasy Mermaid muttered a few words, then explained with a straight face:

"Because the King of Nightmares was killed, coupled with the massive consumption by Dream Eating Anomalous Carapaces, the current Dream Realm has started to become slightly unbalanced, requiring a new god of my stature to fill the void left by the King of Nightmares and the beetle disaster! Understand? Quickly contact the Clean-up Bureau if you do!"

Ah this, no wonder this assessment must be conducted in the Dream Realm, it turns out it’s for... cough...

Upon hearing this, as the primary creator of the disaster in the Dream Realm, he involuntarily ground his teeth, trusting the suddenly appearing Colorful Fantasy Mermaid a bit more.

Although it was currently impossible to verify the authenticity of her words, firstly, she emerged from Director Pisces’ seashell, secondly, the assessment indeed matched the scenario, and thirdly, she constantly urged to contact the Clean-up Bureau, it seemed unlikely to be a fake.

Having confirmed the mermaids’ credibility wasn’t low, Leon courteously nodded towards the partner of the Clean-up Bureau:

"Goddess, please first undo the effects of [Dream-Playing Colorful Fungus], send us all back, and once we return to the branch office, I will immediately have the director contact the headquarters to fulfill the contract with you..."

"Huh? You’re leaving?"

Leon nodded and explained:

"In the previous second assessment, Her Excellency Pisces was ambushed by an enemy, so we had to stop the assessment..."

"So... you can’t go back now?"

Upon hearing this, the mermaid, who was impatient just now, swayed her colorful tail slightly, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Good! Very good! Extremely good!"

The slender and smooth tail swayed slightly, the Colorful Fantasy Mermaid disappeared from Leon’s sight, swam above everyone, and laughed loudly while facing the River of Dreams above them:

"Humans! Now your Director Pisces is in trouble, and I’m the only one left who can control [Paradise Lost] and send you back.

As a collaborator of the Clean-up Bureau, I want you to delve into the Dream Realm, continue the third assessment, fulfill the contract between me and the Clean-up Bureau, and aid me in ascending back to the divine seat!

Finally, I promise by my divine name, for those who help me, once you complete the assessment, I will immediately send you out of [Paradise Lost], granting you a lifetime of pleasant dreams; as for those who refuse to assist me...

Looking at the mermaid above who smiled freely, full of "You don’t want to be unable to return home, right?", Leon couldn’t help but feel his teeth ache.

My luck is really unmatched... for such a messed-up promotion assessment, a simple matter turned into a pile of big problems...

Just as Leon, troubled, looked at the mermaid, hesitating whether to forcibly take her down and make her send everyone back, among the Cleaners who weren’t silenced by the seashell, someone plucked up courage to ask loudly:

"We are not against helping you, but we have a request, you must first tell us what exactly you want us to do, so that we can decide whether to accept your terms!"

"A reasonable request."

Slightly nodding with satisfaction, the Colorful Fantasy Mermaid smiled and said:

"What you need to do is very simple, although the King of Nightmares was killed by your Clean-up Bureau, his seven nightmare emissaries successfully survived, returned to the Demonic Soul Abyss, and temporarily took charge of spreading nightmares.

And what you need to do is escort me into the depths of the Dream Realm, into the Demonic Soul Abyss amid the residual nightmare legion’s raids, reach the Snow Ice City established by the seven nightmare emissaries, help me defeat and completely enslave them, giving me the chance to re-ascend to the divine position!"
