Chapter 617 The Respectable Leon

Ah... there is actually such a thing?!
After learning the real reason why Mixue Ice City could not be closed from Scarecrow Nightmare, not only did the pupils of the cleaners begin to tremble wildly, even the Dream Goddess in the conch could not help but be shocked.

The essence of those seven...those eight nightmare messengers is the holy spirits chosen by the Nightmare King to share his power. Before the Nightmare King revives again, his [nightmare] power will naturally be jointly held by the eight nightmare messengers.

And now, among those who actually controlled the power of [Nightmare], seven-eighths had reached a consensus, and were ready to compact the Nightmare King's grave before he was resurrected, and replace him with a new boss. And this new boss...

How can he be a level 3 cleaner?
Lying beside the hole of the conch shell, staring at Leon who was outside with a look of astonishment, the goddess of entertainment could not help but feel doubts in her heart, and instinctively doubted the real purpose of this promotion assessment.

The Nightmare King was killed, so why did the seven nightmare messengers come back intact?
Why would the nightmare messengers loyal to the Nightmare King suddenly launch a collective attack, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to overthrow the Nightmare King?

And how could a seemingly ordinary third-level cleaner get the support of the seven-headed nightmare messenger?

Conspiracy! There must be a big conspiracy here!
Relying on a brain that was far smarter than an ordinary god, the goddess of entertainment only needed a little thought to successfully see through the sinister plot from the Cleanup Bureau behind this promotion assessment.

Rather than saying this is a promotion assessment, it’s more like the Cleanup Bureau’s revenge on the Nightmare King!
Previously, the Nightmare King took advantage of the overlap between the Fallen Soul Abyss and the present world to attack the present world, which most likely completely angered the Cleanup Bureau. And that tough-minded Archer Director was not satisfied with sending people to kill the Nightmare King, and even made plans to kill them all!

The assessment task of this third stage is not to investigate the situation in Mixue Ice City at all, but to invade the dream world led by Director Pisces, preparing to forcibly replace the "Lord of Nightmares"!

The real purpose of the Cleanup Bureau arranging this assessment should be to completely eliminate the Nightmare King once and for all, and to deter other opponents who are ready to make a move. It’s just that Director Pisces had an accident in the middle of the process, so the plan was forced to be interrupted.

As for the important person chosen by the top brass of the Cleanup Bureau to replace the Nightmare King and assume the power of [Nightmare] to prevent the imbalance of the dream world, why would he be such a weak third-level cleaner...

What the Cleansing Bureau wants is just a puppet that behaves itself, and of course the puppet has to be weak enough to be easy to control.

With the soul strength of this so-called "Leon the Destroyer", if he doesn't have the support of the Cleanup Bureau, he will be overthrown by those nightmare messengers in minutes. In this case, even if he ascends to the throne of god, he will have to continue to stay close to the Cleanup Bureau and will not be able to break away from its control for at least hundreds of years.

Damn! His luck is so good!
Looking outside the conch, Leon, who was looking at the scarecrow nightmare in the distance in surprise, with surprise in his eyes, the goddess of dreams suddenly felt mixed emotions in her heart.

If this was really accomplished by the seven-headed nightmare messenger, then the "New Leon" who combined seven-eighths of the [nightmare] and the fear of a large number of creatures in the dream world would almost certainly be able to replace the Nightmare King and become the new Nightmare Lord.

By then, this lucky human being, as long as he pays a small price and takes the initiative to merge with the created "New Leon", will be able to ascend to the throne of god almost immediately!

As a former true god, he had endured decades in the hands of the Pisces directors and finally won a chance to ascend to the throne of god again. He still had to work hard to maintain the situation, for fear that these cleaners would discover the clues and expose his disguise.

And this fool with a stupid look on his face, he didn't do anything at all, but because of his good luck, he got the opportunity he had always dreamed of so easily, and he is about to become a god in one step... How unfair is the fate!
However, the facts were completely different from what the Dream Goddess had guessed. After learning what the Snow Girl and several other nightmare messengers were planning, Leon was not extremely excited about his upcoming "ascension to godhood". Instead, he felt that something was wrong.

The Nightmare Lord can never do this, he can never do it in this lifetime!

In the Cleansing Bureau, I have a very bright future. I am well-known to everyone from top to bottom. Even if my luck gets worse in the future, I will definitely get the position of Director of the Zodiac. How could I possibly jump to the Dream World and take over the position of the crappy Nightmare Lord?

Even if the "Destroyer Leon" created by the Snow Girl and the others was just a fake formed by collecting the fear of the creatures in the dream world and combining it with the power of "Nightmare", no one knows whether this thing will have any effect on himself!

So we have to think of a way to solve this problem quickly! ...

"Everyone!"

After subconsciously glancing at Senior Amin's position, Leon immediately stepped in front of the cleaners and said loudly to everyone:
"It seems that there is internal strife in the Nightmare Messenger. We should seize this opportunity and take action immediately!"

Take this opportunity…

After hearing what Leon said, the cleaners looked at each other in bewilderment. Then someone who "knew the business" couldn't help but stand up and asked with a strange look on his face:

"You mean... you want to take this opportunity to replace the Nightmare King and become the new Lord of Nightmares?"

"of course not!"

Upon hearing this, Leon shook his head without hesitation and said:

"I'm a cleaner at the Cleanup Bureau. How can I come to the Dream World and be the Lord of Nightmares?"

"But... this is a chance to become a god and gain eternal life!"

Another knowledgeable cleaner couldn't help but say with envy:
"The Nightmare King has not yet revived and is completely powerless to resist. Seven of the eight nightmare messengers support you. All you have to do is merge with the other you they created..."

"Am I still me then?"

Pointing at the giant Leon behind him who was being controlled by the Scarecrow Nightmare and was laughing wildly and killing the enemy Nightmare, the real Leon said with a look of disgust:
"Rather than becoming a fool just to keep living, I would rather continue to be myself now, live a good life for a few decades, and then die happily!"

"..."

That's true... but it's a chance for eternal life after all, so you have no regrets at all?

Seeing that Leon was not shaken at all in the face of the temptation of eternal life, the cleaners looked at him with a bit of respect. Even Abigail, who had never dared to approach him, couldn't help but speak with a little respect:

"Although I would make the same choice, I'm definitely not as decisive as you. You... you you you! What are you doing?!"

"I have to go in and stop them."

After pointing to the tightly closed door of Mixue Ice City, Leon took out the silver cutting dagger and said apologetically amid the horrified looks of the cleaners:

"But I just tried it, and it seems that I need about 59 Lyon points to successfully cut this dream apart, so... I'm sorry!"
