It still felt so strange.
Nick was looking at the Nightmare.
He was actually looking at the Nightmare's real body.
Had any human seen the Nightmare's real body before?
It was just so strange.
This was an Eternal.
Something that could end all of humanity if it wanted.
And yet, Nick could just stand here, looking at it.
The fact that his ability was still active meant that the Nightmare either couldn't or didn't perceive him.
Either it was simply not paying attention to him…
Or it was unable to pay attention to anything.
Was the Nightmare truly only a corpse?
Something that didn't even have a will?
But then, where did all of this endless hatred come from?
After all, the Nightmare's illusions were filled with the purest hatred imaginable.
