Chapter 684: Chapter 684

Ah, this... is there really such a thing?!

After learning the real reason behind the closure of the Frosty Snow City from the mouth of the Scarecrow Nightmare, not only did the pupils of the Cleaners start to shake madly, but even the Goddess of Pleasure Dreams in the conch couldn’t help but be shocked.

The essence of those seven... no, eight Nightmare Envoys, is that they are sacred spirits chosen by the King of Nightmares to help share his authority. Before the King of Nightmares revives, the authority of the [Nightmare] naturally would be jointly managed by the eight Nightmare Envoys.

And now, among these real managers of [Nightmare] authority, seven out of eight have reached a consensus to take advantage of the King of Nightmares’ absence and press his grave flat, ready to replace him with a new boss, and this new boss...

How can it be a third-level Cleaner?

Staring hard at the shell’s hole, looking at the bewildered Leon outside, the Goddess of Pleasure Dreams couldn’t help but doubt the true purpose of this promotion assessment.

The King of Nightmares has been taken down, so why were the seven Nightmare Envoys able to return intact?

Why would the nightmare envoys loyal to the King of Nightmares suddenly act collectively to overturn the King of Nightmares?

And how can a seemingly ordinary third-level Cleaner gain the support of the seven Nightmare Envoys?

Conspiracy! There must be a huge conspiracy in this!

With a brain far surpassing the average god, the Goddess of Pleasure Dreams swiftly discerned the sinister plot behind this promotion assessment orchestrated by the Clean-up Bureau.

Rather than being called a promotion assessment, it might as well be said that this is the Clean-up Bureau’s revenge against the King of Nightmares!

The previous assault on the real world by the King of Nightmares during the overlap of the Demonic Soul Abyss and reality had mostly infuriated the Clean-up Bureau. The tough Scorpio director sent someone to take down the King of Nightmares and even planned for a total eradication! Thɪs chapter is updated by NovelHub(.)net

The task of this third phase of the assessment is not to investigate the situation in Frosty Snow City but to head an invasion into the Dream Realm led by the Pisces director to directly force the replacement of the "Lord of Nightmares"!

The true purpose behind this assessment arranged by the Clean-up Bureau should be to solve the issue of the King of Nightmares once and for all and to intimidate other potential threats. However, due to an unexpected incident concerning the Pisces director, the plan had to be suspended midway.

As for being selected by the upper management of the Clean-up Bureau to replace the King of Nightmares to bear the [Nightmare] authority and prevent imbalance in the Dream Realm, why is it that such a weak third-level Cleaner...

What the Clean-up Bureau wants is simply an obedient puppet, and the weaker the puppet, the easier it is to control.

With the soul intensity of this so-called "Destroyer Leon," without the support of the Clean-up Bureau, he would be overthrown by those Nightmare Envoys in no time. Even if he ascends to godhood, he would have to align with the Clean-up Bureau for hundreds of years, at least, to remain under their control.

Dammit! His luck is just too good!

Looking at Leon outside, still staring in shock at the distant Scarecrow Nightmare, the Goddess of Pleasure Dreams couldn’t help but feel a mixed array of emotions.

If this is accomplished by those seven Nightmare Envoys, then the "New Leon" formed by combining seven-eighths of the [Nightmares] and a significant amount of fear from the Dream Realm’s entities is almost certain to replace the King of Nightmares and become the new Lord of Nightmares.

At that time, this luck-stricken human only needs to pay a small price to merge voluntarily with the created "New Leon" and almost immediately ascend to godhood effortlessly!

As a former True God, I have endured under the Pisces director for decades, barely getting a chance to ascend again, and I still have to maintain the facade cautiously, fearing that these Cleaners may uncover my disguise.

But this fool with a stupid expression hasn’t done anything, yet because of his luck, he’s simply handed the opportunity I’ve longed for on a silver platter, ready to ascend effortlessly... How unfair fate is!

However, contrary to the Goddess of Pleasure Dreams’ assumptions, once Leon learned what the Snow Maiden and other Nightmare Envoys were planning, he wasn’t thrilled about potentially "ascending" to godhood; instead, he sensed something was terribly wrong.

Becoming the Lord of Nightmares is impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime!

I belong to the Clean-up Bureau, where my prospects are incredibly vast, and I’ve become known up and down the ranks. Even with poor luck, a position as a Yellow Road Director is inevitable, so how could I switch to the Dream Realm for a lousy Lord of Nightmares position?

Even if the "Destroyer Leon" created by the Snow Maiden and others is just a counterfeit formed by collecting fear from Dream Realm entities and combining it with the [Nightmare] authority, who knows what impact it could have on me!

Therefore, I need to think of a way to mess this up!

After subconsciously glancing at Senior Ameen’s position, Leon immediately stepped forward in front of the Cleaners and loudly addressed everyone:

"It seems that there’s an internal strife among the Nightmare Envoys, and we should seize this opportunity to take action immediately!"

Seize this opportunity...

Upon hearing Leon’s words, the Cleaners couldn’t help but exchange glances. Then, someone "knowledgeable" couldn’t help but stand out, asking in a peculiar tone:

"Are you saying... you want to use this opportunity to replace the King of Nightmares and become the new Lord of Nightmares?"

Leon shook his head without hesitation and said:

"I’m a Cleaner of the Clean-up Bureau, how could I become the Lord of Nightmares in the Dream Realm?"

"But... this is an opportunity to directly become a god and achieve immortality!"

Another knowledgeable Cleaner couldn’t help but say with envy:

"The King of Nightmares hasn’t revived yet and is incapable of resisting, with seven out of eight Nightmare Envoys supporting you. You only need to unite with the other created you..."

"But will I still be me then?"

Pointing to the back, controlled by the Scarecrow Nightmare, a giant Leon, laughing wildly while violently destroying the opposing nightmares, the real Leon said with disdain:

"I’d rather live as myself for a few decades happily than become that stupid form just to live forever!"

Well, that’s true... but after all, it’s an opportunity for immortality, don’t you have any longing for it?

Seeing Leon unwavering in the face of the allure of immortality, the Cleaners couldn’t help but look at him with respect. Even Abigail, who had been too intimidated to approach him, couldn’t help but speak with slight reverence:

"Though I would make the same choice, I’m sure I wouldn’t be as... You, you, you! What are you doing?!"

"I need to quickly go in and stop them."

Pointing to the sealed door of Frosty Snow City, Leon took out The Cutting Silver Dagger and said apologetically amidst the terrified expressions of the Cleaners,:

"But I just tried, and I think it would take about 59 Leon Value to successfully cut open this Dream Realm, so... sorry, guys!"
