Chapter 2492 [Bonus] Challenge Sequence
[Bonus chappy thanks to Mr. Ham <3 (4/6)
Clarence sat in silence, feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders.
The reality was that the Dream Pavilion was just one of many, and the only reason their numbers were so few was that there was no one else among the humans worthy of joining... well, aside from that old witch of the Cult and...
Clarence's mind landed on Leonel once again. He had forgotten just how many times he had thought of this young man in the last few weeks. But now it seemed that it was nothing more than a foolish dream of his.
A single year?
He laughed bitterly. He knew they were doing it on purpose. It was a slap to their faces that the mighty Dream Pavilion had such a stain on their record, it was just that they didn't have any other formal rules of kicking a Pavilion out of the structured Alliance... until King's death gave them the excuse they needed.
It was truly a great joke. The mighty Dream Pavilion, rather than finding out who had killed one of their Pavilion Heads, actually moved on and pretended as though it hadn't happened at all, instead using it as an excuse to wipe this stain from their record entirely.
It wasn't too much of an oddity for a Pavilion Head position to remain empty for a decade or more. How could the matter of a new Pavilion Head position be chosen so casually?
It had to be understood that to these behemoths, a year of time might as well have been the blink of an eye. It wasn't an exaggeration that a year of time to them was the equivalent of a handful of hours to a mortal. Continue reading on No_veLbIn
They probably would have made the time shorter if it wouldn't be too obvious what they were doing. How could they possibly raise a Life State expert in that time? Especially in a Force as difficult to grasp as Dream Force?

Those bastards. They actually increased the difficulty!
There were nine steps, and in the past he had been able to make it to the fourth step quite comfortably. He knew it was foolish to even try to climb it again, but he was desperate and hoped his extra will power would help.
He didn't expect that he wouldn't even be able to take the second step this time.
There was no doubt, they were trying to close off all potential paths. They really wanted the Human Race to be entirely wiped out.
Clarence grit his teeth so hard that a few of them actually cracked beneath the pressure. He barely managed to use this pain to awaken himself and stop the ghosts from trying to claw their way out again.
He exhaled. There was only one chance remaining to them.
"I, Deputy Pavilion Head Clarence Regalis, hereby use my authority to activate the Challenge Sequence."
At that moment, in a far-off place, a stone stele standing in the depths of what looked like a world of dreams trembled.
There was a list of exactly 9999 marked on its body, and a name in the 123rd position trembled.
Vast Dream Pavilion.
This name shone wildly until it reached a fever pitch. Then, it quickly plummeted. From 123rd, it fell at an astonishing speed, not stopping until it fell to the 9999th position.
In a single instant of time, Clarence traded in millions of years worth of merits without the slightest hesitation.
The Vast Dream Pavilion rumbled, and the other Ninth Dimensional experts rushed toward Clarence's temple.
But it was already too late.
