To start with, I’ll take a look at [Butterfly Dream]. Depending on its effect, my fighting style could change going forward.
[Dragon Mirror] was another characteristic skill I got as an oneiros, and has been powerful. Perhaps [Butterfly Dream] will have synergy with my existing skills. If possible, I’d be happy if it was somehow effective against God’s Voice…
【Characteristic Skill [Butterfly Dream]】

My head burns. It feels like my skull has been shaken. I lower my chin to the ground. All the colours I see vividly melt together as my vision sways.
They got me…! I never considered the possibility of a skill being booby trapped! I should have known God’s Voice would be capable of this. Rather than me being careless, my opponent’s abilities were simply too powerful. I never thought to be wary of this.
“Guo, guOOOOOOOOOh!”
I roar. Something approaches me in a hurry, and a strange light bursts across my vision. I can see Aro and treant again.
“A-are you okay, dragon-god-sama!?”
『Master-dono…! I cast [High Rest], but are you okay…?』
Th-that light just now, that was treant’s… My nausea and headache are fading.
Is that skill something I can’t see? No it might not entirely be due to the skill. It could be something to do with gaining [Naraka Realm], or the level of my [Laplace Interference Authority] increasing. The timing was suspicious, but…
『Sorry about that. I made you worried.』
The strange feeling is fading faster than I was expecting… It might be worth trying to look at it one more time. Even if I can’t read it, it might be worth memorising what I can so I can guess its effect.
【Characteristic Skill [Butterfly Dream]】
【Revival skill that switches dream for reality.】
【When the user’s HP becomes zero, the border between dream and reality becomes blurred.】
【On that occurrence, the user’s death is made into a dream, causing them to revive in perfect condition.】
【This skill disappears once used.】
I can read it properly… I’m not sure what that was about, but thinking about it won’t give me an answer. It’s an unusual skill, but it doesn’t sound like it’s related to the divine skills. It sounds very much like an oneiros skill. Let’s leave that strange phenomenon to the side for now and think about the skill itself.
Apparently, when I die, I’ll revive with full HP and MP. It’s one time use, but it seems crazy powerful. For one battle, it’s the equivalent of doubling my HP and MP. If I had this, I probably could have defeated Lilixira or Miia with plenty of leeway.
As a skill gained at the maximum level of [Oneiros], it’s suitably powerful. It’s strong enough to justify evolving into an oneiros all by itself… But, I’m going to absolutely need to keep it in stock for when I actually fight God’s Voice.
Besides, I can’t fully trust it. It feels disconcerting to rely on a skill that only activates when I die, the headache it gave me a moment ago is very suspicious.
It’s possible that it could be a Trojan Horse sent by God’s Voice. The worst case scenario would be that when I use it, God’s Voice invades and takes over my mind.
God’s Voice’s objective is to create a monster powerful enough to have gained the maximum level of [Laplace Interference Authority], and then manipulate that monster into freeing Foren. However, there’s no guarantee that the monster would obey. It’s entirely plausible that God’s Voice would send me a brainwashing skill in order to take control later. In the worst case scenario, rather than destroying God’s Voice, I could end up dooming the world by using it.
It’s only a hypothesis. I don’t know the truth, but I’m probably better of being cautious rather than delighted about receiving [Butterfly Dream]. It probably goes without saying, but try planning on using it unless I’m incredibly badly cornered.
There’s one more thing to check now. My next evolution.
…Probably, this will be my final evolution. As my next species, I’ll need to defeat God’s Voice.
The divine skills seem to match the Buddhist Six Realms. I have five of them. There’s probably one last divine skill, [Deva Realm], somewhere in the world. Perhaps it would be better to collect all of them before evolving.
However, I want to return as soon as possible and defeat the [Spirit Servants]. The existence of [Deva Realm] only hypothetical. Even Miia had no idea of where it could be, or whether it exists. I don’t know the full situation, and I can’t afford to delay any longer.
【Should the evolution options be displayed?】
A message appears. I close my eyes and nod.
