Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 401

Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Sweet Dreams and Nightmares

The Sweet Fragrance Skill activated.

"I see. It’s such a vast world.

Beau, you know so much. 𝑓𝑟𝖊𝘦𝔀𝘦𝐛𝔫𝓸𝘃𝒆𝘭.𝒄𝗈𝖒

So, about the banquet tonight... I heard there might be uninvited guests? I mean... minions of the Nightmare God?

Do you know what they’re usually like? How should we deal with them?"

Under the subtle influence of [Sweet Fragrance], Beau, who already had a good impression of Seraphina Sullivan and was simple-minded, lowered his guard completely.

He answered almost without thinking:

"Minions of the Nightmare God... Ugh, they’re the worst!"

Beau wrinkled his little nose, his expression one of disgust.

"The Nightmare God and the God of Sweet Dreams were supposedly both originally incarnations of the [Dream God]!

I don’t know why they later split into the two Gods of Nightmare and Sweet Dreams.

Because their philosophies differed, the conflict between them grew deeper and deeper.

The Nightmare God believes that dreams should reflect the fears, pain, and struggles of reality so that living beings can grow.

But the God of Sweet Dreams believes that dreams should be a sanctuary, a comfort of beauty and hope."

"So, the Nightmare Legion attacks kingdoms like ours, which are protected by the God of Sweet Dreams, from time to time.

They want to turn our sweet dreams into nightmares!"

Beau’s voice held a trace of lingering fear.

"They come in all sorts of strange shapes and sizes, mostly monsters that are physical manifestations of negative emotions and fears.

For example, there are aggregates formed from countless weeping human faces.

Or Dread Phantoms that can create terrifying illusions.

There are also Despair Gargoyles wreathed in black smoke with terrifying strength.

They’re so scary!"

Beau paused, then his expression turned to one of relief.

"But you don’t have to be too scared, Pastry Chef Sullivan!

Every time they come to cause trouble, His Majesty King Peach leads the kingdom’s Royal Guard.

And powerful individuals like Madame Spider and Lord Eureka drive them away!

The castle’s defenses are very strong, too!

We just need to do our jobs and trust His Majesty the King and the others!"

Seraphina Sullivan nodded silently and retracted the influence of [Sweet Fragrance].

She had obtained more information than she expected.

Nightmares and sweet dreams shared a common origin but were now in opposition.

The Nightmare Legion came in various forms related to negative emotions, and the Peach Kingdom had considerable defensive power.

This intel was crucial for the upcoming Main Quest Two.

"Thank you for telling me all this, Beau."

Seraphina thanked him.

"I’ll do my best with the pastries, and I hope the banquet goes peacefully so everyone can enjoy a wonderful evening."

"Mhm! It definitely will!"

Beau nodded emphatically.

Then he hopped and skipped back to continue practicing with his cakes, his tail still wagging happily.

Seraphina, meanwhile, collected her thoughts. 𝘧𝙧𝘦𝖊𝕨𝐞𝘣𝖓𝘰𝕧𝚎𝖑.𝚌𝐨𝚖

She dove back into her pastry-making.

But in her heart, she now had a clearer plan and a heightened sense of caution for the evening’s banquet.

’The Nightmare Legion... they don’t sound easy to deal with.’

’Just the names "aggregates" and "Dread Phantoms" sound ominous.’
