Chapter 36 - Nightmare Fuel

"If that's clear, then...", he turned abruptly to the uncanny lieutenant and nodded. The white haired lieutenant grinned whimsically, similar to the glee on a child's face, and nodded back. In that instant, the group gathered disappeared.

Pierson fluttered his eyes open, and marveled at the sight. The realm they were present in was beyond imagination. Floating landmasses dance through the atmosphere, against a sky that looked like painter's canvas, bursting with a vibrant symphony of colors, purple, red,turquoise, white, gold and sapphire blue, blended together in a celestial spectacle. The group stood in awe, watching as aliens in this ethereal world. At that moment, Kazumi appeared before them, announcing, "All of you are going to spend 24 hours in this world. Now although it looks quite gentle, do not be fooled. This world is very much dangerous, and survival here for even a day will prove to be a struggle. Don't worry, if you die here, it won't affect you in the real world, you'll be safe. Try your best to survive as long as you can. If that's it, then- Begin!!". With that he vanished.

As the others were still in wonder of the terrain, Pierson began to look around, picking up items he could use to activate "Chariots". "White-Hair wants me to fight in that Showdown so badly...If it will help the Cap'n then I can't dissapoi-", Right before he had completed his utterance, A quaking roar resonated throughout the world, echoing and cause the ground underneath to tremble.

Back in Howling's base, Leo approached Kazumi and Lucas, inquisitive about the test and how Pierson was performing. "Where is everyone?" "They aren't here...." "Is the test going on outside Howling?" "No, Leo, It is going on in there...",Kazumi pointed to the lieutenant, who was scribbling something in the sand with a twig."I don't understand...." "This is Howling's 3rd lieutenant, Shiro.",Lucas added, "His god ability is called 'Dreamscape',An A class ranked ability. It is a separate reality from ours that exists in his mind. He can pull people in and out of it, it however takes an enormous toll on him, extreme fatigue and splitting headaches. Shiro seems to have suffered a loss of memories as well, infact....Shiro isn't his name. Kazumi is the one who gave him that name. It's possible that memory loss is also apart of the drawbacks of his power..." "A God ability like this....it's so demanding..." "I know..",Kazumi chipped in," However, Shiro wanted to do this....His reasons....are still secret-" "But what makes Shiro dangerous is that....In his Dreamscape, the line between reality and imagination blurs, in that world, Shiro is a god."

"I can't believe it, that an ability like this exists.....Is there no limit....to what a God Particle can do?"
