Chapter 682: Chapter 682

This isn’t right... if you’re going to have a civil war, just have a proper civil war, what the heck is this?

Seeing two versions of himself in the distance, with one hovering in the sky and the other standing on a dark river while trading insults, Leon was utterly speechless. The Cleaners witnessing the Nightmare civil war were even more bewildered than he was.

If this so-called Destroyer Leon just shares your name, then how do you explain these two? Not only do they have your name, but they also look just like you, right?

"This... I apologize for this..."

Having just told a lie not long ago, Leon found himself exposed by the Nightmares. Faced with the strange looks from his fellow Cleaners, Leon, feeling a bit embarrassed, awkwardly explained:

"I honestly didn’t intend to hide this; it’s mainly because this matter is related to a fourth-level confidentiality mission, which requires division chief level access to review. If I were to directly explain it to you, it would be a violation.

But given the situation at hand, it seems there’s no difference whether I hide it or not... Hmm... In short, although I’ve only been to the Dream Realm once, the Destroyer the Nightmares refer to is indeed me."

Fourth level... Involving the True God? Were you there when the King of Nightmares was taken down?

Looking at the two Leons in the distance who started fighting after trading a few more insults, the Cleaners exchanged puzzled glances, and someone couldn’t help but ask:

"Why are you called the Destroyer then? Can you talk about that?"

Upon hearing the question, Leon scratched the back of his head, then uncertainly replied:

"Excluding the parts involving the ’True God’, it’s basically because I acquired a rather dangerous abnormal object from the Scorpio Branch Chief, enhanced it a bit, and tossed it into the Dream Realm, causing significant damage, so the Dream Realm is... somewhat afraid I might come back again?"

Fear throughout the entire Dream Realm... What exactly did you do?

Leon’s hesitant attitude only piqued greater curiosity. Even Abigail, who’d been avoiding Leon due to nearly being devoured, couldn’t resist asking:

"Can you briefly explain what kind of damage you caused?"

"Briefly speaking..."

Leon thought for a moment, then raised a hand, somewhat ashamedly saying:

"The disaster I caused was about this big..."

A hand... does that mean five?

After pondering for a moment, Abigail cautiously probed:

"Did the thing you threw into the Dream Realm affect five million Dream Realm creatures?"

Seeing Leon’s speechless expression, Abigail was astounded.

Leon awkwardly replied:

"Half the Dream Realm, fifty percent."

Confronted with this unexpectedly yet bizarrely logical answer, over four hundred Cleaners collectively gasped in shock, even the Goddess of Pleasure Dreams hiding in the conch couldn’t maintain her composure.

Indeed, it’s not the wrong name, just the wrong nickname. You truly live up to being the Dream Realm Destroyer.

"It’s not entirely my fault though..."

Seeing the increasingly odd looks from the Cleaners, Leon swiftly chose to deflect responsibility:

"The thing that destroyed the Dream Realm was something brought by Scorpio Branch Chief Edward, and the mark used to enhance it was given by the Archer Director. I just did a little handling."

So, the ones truly responsible for half the Dream Realm’s destruction were the Scorpio Branch’s Chief and the Clean-up Bureau’s Archer Director?

After hearing Leon’s explanation, the Cleaners remained skeptical, while the Goddess of Pleasure Dreams in the conch secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

From the years of serving Director Pisces, she had grown familiar with the Archer Director’s conduct, which was always extremely tough on the outside and often employed "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" tactics.

Presumably, the King of Nightmares did something that completely infuriated the Archer Director, who in turn sought to teach the King a harsh lesson through this third-level Cleaner by releasing an abnormal object targeting the Dream Realm.

Yes... That must be it!

After all, if this man named Leon were truly so powerful, how could he still be a third-level Cleaner? And why would he participate in this kind of promotion examination?

Having found a rational explanation for the "Destroyer Event," the relieved Goddess of Pleasure Dreams cleared her throat and commanded in a stern tone:

"Alright, the Nightmares are in chaos now, and it’s time for you to continue the examination!"

Yes! Now it really looks like there’s a chance to pass!

Upon hearing the reminder from the Goddess of Pleasure Dreams, the Cleaners immediately sprang into action, taking out their abnormal objects.

Group acceleration, aura concealment, invisibility, environmental disguise... One by one, the diverse abnormal objects were taken out, and the assault teams, who had been waiting for some time, finally began to move again, stealthily heading for the feet of the "Big Leon."

Meanwhile, the internal battle within the Nightmare troops had reached a boiling point.

The ordinary Nightmares below were desperately slaughtering each other, their grotesque and bizarre limbs falling like raindrops. Every second, hundreds of Nightmares were shattered, transforming into purest Fear, merging into the Nightmare River below their feet.

Above them, the Nightmare leaders were commanding the giant Leons, formed by the fear of countless Nightmares, furiously attacking each other, sometimes even biting and tearing. Later on, the two giant Leons just grappled and rolled together, strangling each other and trading blows...

This is just bonkers!

Watching the two gigantic Leons, who had his face but fought like street thugs in the ugliest manner, the real Leon couldn’t help but darken his expression, instinctively wanting to rush out and teach these bastards a lesson.

Alas, despite being the real deal, these two imposters, engaged in chaotic fighting, bore the will of hundreds of thousands of Nightmares. Just being stepped on by them means undergoing over a hundred thousand mental assaults; he wasn’t in a position to provoke them...

No choice, fists aren’t big enough, I’ll hold back!

With a stone-cold face, Leon blended into the back of the group, passing through the fiercely battling Nightmare troops, moving past the deafening yet absurdly chaotic battlefield, finally arriving at the deepest part of the Demonic Soul Abyss, facing the Red and White Giant City. Leon let out a long sigh of relief.

There were too many chaotic events in this promotion examination that left one feeling uncertain, but with the Snow Maiden in the Ice Castle, he finally felt he had a reliable ally. Content originally comes from NoveIＦire.net

And just as Leon breathed a sigh of relief, the Goddess hiding within the conch similarly relaxed, a confident smile reappearing on her face.

Indeed, the most crucial ability a god must possess is keeping a cool head!

Although the plan had significant setbacks, encountering a massive Nightmare obstruction in a critical area, her strong composure ensured she didn’t display any weaknesses, successfully stabilizing the situation.

Next, as long as she leads this Cleaner, whom she’d managed to appease, into the Ice Castle, she could... Hmm? Why is the castle closed?
