The hero would certainly come to save them!
However, the superhero they admired was in a deep crisis.
Even though the Lord of Nightmare from Dark Souls hadnât fully recovered yet, its combat strength couldnât be underestimated.
Its children had absorbed a massive amount of energy from fans worldwide using their drama series over the years.
Meanwhile, they were here in Dark Sideâs server in the form of the bosses of the Dark Souls series. They beat up Dark Sideâs players, who were resurrected using krypton gold, and made them crawl all over the ground.
Dark Side was getting tired of dealing with these Lords of Cinder and the Four Knights Of Gwyn under their command. Chaos Witch Quelaag and the monsters from the Abyss that rushed out of the world of Dark Souls could not be forgotten eitherâ¦
While Dark Side was fighting with these nightmare consciousnesses, he soon felt that his connection with the few thousand contractors under him was cut off.
Dream consciousnesses had different attitudes towards their own contractors and fans. Some only considered them as the source of food, but most were willing to treat them as friends.
Dark Side treated his contractors as⦠comrades and students that needed protection. Fans who played in the game world were people that he must protect.
Although the Dream Eaters were under the command of the American government and had done a lot of shady things under the table, Dark Side still treated and trained every one of the Dream Eaters as students he was most proud of.
Among them, Herring was the student he was most satisfied with.
When the Dream Eaters died during an invasion of a nightmare, the only thing Dark Side could do was mourn. But now, his students might be trapped inside that Nightmare Dungeon!
Dark Side couldnât just pretend not to see it. However, there were more people who needed his protection here. He could only use a hint of his consciousness to ask his main universe, the Level SS Dream Seed, Superhero World, for help.
Superhero World, Dark Side hadnât returned to his home for a long time.
The reason he was created was that his creators wanted him to plunder and devour other Dream Seeds in the name of justice.
Ever since the Dream Eaters were established, Dark Side had devoured countless Nightmare Seeds, giving these powers to his main universe, Superhero World.
Dark Side himself also became more and more contaminated by the nightmares.
And now, he was a dark shadow behind the light among this group of superheroes who were releasing thousands of feet of light. He was so dark that even his kind repelled him.
After so many years, Dark Side had now returned to his home⦠to the base of superheroes, the headquarters of the Supernova League.
âSeik! I need your help. Enemies from the abyss have trapped my students.â
Dark Side lifted his head and looked at the person with blonde hair and bright eyes standing at the highest spot of the headquarters.
He was the most popular and the most powerful hero in Superhero World and also the first superhero created, Supernova!
Supernova was the symbol of the entire United States, just like Superman of DC was the representative figure of the word superhero.
âYour students? Your students have already been prepared to sacrifice themselves for nightmare purifications since the moment they joined the Dream Eaters. You should have gotten used to it a long time agoâ¦â said Supernova.
âBut theyâre still alive!â Dark Side glanced at the other superheroes in the headquarters and yelled, âLet Honey and Misuri help me save those people who are trapped inside the nightmare.â
Honey and Misuri Dark Side mentioned were two pretty popular heroes. Honey was a new generation hero that Supernova Pictures had created. A while ago, his personal movie swept the box office after being released worldwide and became the most outstanding movie at the time.
Honey was a bit interested in the invitation from his senior, Dark Side. He had never participated in any battles that were truly cruel⦠like the invasion of a nightmare.
New heroes always had an extremely strong desire to show their strength, but Supernova raised his hand and stopped Honeyâs action.
âYouâre the only one who can deal with this nightmare purification battle, Roy⦠If any of us interferes, the other party wonât just sit there. It will devolve into a free fight, causing a much larger disaster!â
The âother partyâ Supernova talked about was that Level SS Dream Seed that guarded the Celestial Empire.
Right now, the Great Sage was turning a blind eye to the invasion of this nightmare. Nightmares werenât in the area of his protection.
The Great Sage would only step up when the Dream Eaters went after the Dream Makers behind the nightmares. If the other worlds of superheroes also participated in the fight over this Nightmare Seed, the Great Sage might not be the only one who would fight back. The Generals of the Heavenly Court wouldnât just turn a blind eye either.
When two out of the only three Level SS Dream Seeds in the world went into war, a huge disaster would be brought to all the dream worlds. It wouldnât do any good to both parties.
âYou mean⦠I should just watch my students get swallowed by a nightmare?â Dark Side asked loudly.
âThe training period of a Dream Eater is around one to two years. If we mobilize soldiers from a professional army, itâll be even faster. If you really need manpower so badly, I can mobilize a part of my Supernova Guards for you.â
What Supernova meant was already clear. Those Dream Eaters didnât deserve to be saved at all. It only took a year or two to train a few hundred Dream Eaters again.
However, if Superhero World and the Celestial Empire went into war, the heroes nurtured by the Supernova League would be the ones suffering a loss.
âTrain? Mobilize? Do you really think youâre God? Seik!â
Dark Side couldnât bear to listen anymore. He pointed at Supernova, who was standing at the top, and shouted, âTheyâre all fans who like superheroes! Our followers! People who created us⦠If your creator was still alive, he would be very disappointed with your current decision!â
Dark Sideâs words immediately touched the chip on Supernovaâs shoulder.
In a blink, an electric light that looked like thunderbolts appeared in Supernovaâs eyes. He clenched his fists in the air, and invisible energy immediately grabbed Dark Sideâs neck, lifting him up.
âHow my creators think of me isnât something you can judge!â
Supernova slightly lost control of his emotions and said to Dark Side, âYou should abandon all the Dream Eaters who entered that nightmare right now. They were born for this. Dying in the nightmare is their job! Put all your energy on resisting the nightmare consciousnesses that are invading you!â
âThatâs impossible⦠Honey, Misuri, Sun, Trom⦠As superheroes, arenât you supposed to go and save those helpless people right now?â
âHelpless people? Your Dream Eaters arenât helpless people. Theyâre all executioners who destroy other peopleâs dreams, and you are the person who trains those executioners. Recognize your identity! You were never a superhero!â
Supernovaâs words aroused the nightmare emotions hidden in Dark Sideâs mind. In an instant, a lot of black shadows suddenly surged out behind him.
These black shadows even blocked Supernovaâs energy that held Dark Sideâs neck, causing him to fall on the ground. He covered his chest and fought with the nightmare consciousnesses on his body with difficulty.
He gradually turned ferocious, but the left corner of his mouth couldnât help but lift.
âThen⦠Who made me like thisâ¦â
Half of Dark Sideâs body was enveloped by the nightmares that devoured him. He raised his head and looked at the superior superheroes, who seemed to be glowing before his eyes.
âWas it you? Or the greed hiding in your minds⦠Answer me! Seik!â
âThatâs enough!â
Supernova had had enough of Dark Sideâs endless provocations of his authority. A golden arc flashed through his hands. He clenched his fists again and wanted to kick Dark Side out of Superhero World.
However, this golden arc was swept away by the nightmares surging out of Dark Sideâs body. Dark Side used all his sanity to suppress the torrent of nightmares running rampant in his body.
He covered the left side of his face. Even though he was still sane, he couldnât help but yell at these superheroesâ¦
âI curse you! I curse all of you!â
Dark Sideâs voice resounded in the entire meeting room of the Supernova League. Supernova didnât let him yell again and directly destroyed Dark Sideâs projection with his power.
âThe nightmare consciousness sealed inside his body seems to have lost control?â the only heroine in the Supernova League, Misuri, said anxiously.
âDonât be too worried, dear.â
Another voice sounded in the meeting room. The Chief Dream Maker of Supernova Pictures and one of their current creators, Mr. Joe Finn, was visiting this Dream Dungeon.
The arrival of this Chief Dream Maker sent these heroes in silence for a while.
âThe performance of the movie âDark Sideâ at the box office was pretty bad at the beginning of its release. And now, his popularity is the lowest among all of you. If the Dream Eatersâ plan fails this time, he may be shelved. Weâll then reset him with a new script and character image. Itâs just that we still donât have a good idea right now.â
What the Chief Dream Maker said made the heroes show a weird expression on their faces, especially when they heard the word âreset.â
For the dream consciousness, if a Dream Maker wanted to reset a dream, it would be like wiping their personality and memory. This was something any wise dream consciousness didnât want to encounter! However, Nightmare Seeds that devoured peopleâs lives wouldnât be affected at all. If a Dream Maker did this to a Lord of Nightmare, he would have to be prepared that the Lord of Nightmare would swallow all conscious living creatures in the surroundings.
âYou donât have to worry about it. As the members of the Supernova League, youâre all the most popular superheroes in the movie industry⦠and even in our country. Honey, come here⦠It has been confirmed that your first movie performed very well at the box office. Letâs talk about the plot of your second movie.â
Mr. Joe Finn waved at the youngest member of the Supernova League. This young hero jumped right down and landed next to his creator.
âMr. Joe Finn, by resetting, do you mean making a whole new movie for Mr. Dark Side?â
He was curious about what resetting meant. This young hero quite admired a hero design like Dark Side, who faced his heart towards the light even if he was in the dark.
âYes⦠Weâll film a new production for him. Itâs just that Dark Sideâs dark tone and personality arenât quite suitable for the current market. Honey, donât worry about it⦠What do you think about filming the next movie in Europe? Are you interested in sightseeing around London? You have a lot of fans in Europe.â
This Chief Dream Maker was like a competent manager. He left with this young hero.
âSeik⦠I felt like there was something wrong with Roy when he left.â
That heroine said to Supernova next to her. Dark Sideâs appearance before leaving made her a bit worried.
âSomething wrong? Even if he really loses control, what can he do? Dark Side, Roy, was born with you and me, but he has only one movie, while you have three popular movies and two independent drama series dedicated to you. You have an overwhelming advantage in the number of followers all over the world.â
Supernova didnât understand why this heroine was worried.
âEven if Mr. Joe Finn and the other Dream Makers at Supernova Pictures reset Dark Side and create a new movie for him, itâs impossible for his popularity to surpass yours by relying on a single movie.â
Supernovaâs words were met with approval from the other heroes here.
Even if the Dream Media Company that created them really used a large number of resources in resetting Dark Sideâs movie and put everything they had to advertise it around the world, Dark Sideâs popularity still couldnât possibly surpass that of the old heroes in a short period.
Besides, Supernova Pictures werenât so foolish. The genre of Dark Sideâs dream wasnât suitable for the current market. Youthful and spirited new generation heroes like Honey the Flash were all the rage in the market right now.
So, even if Dark Side lost control, it was still a problem whether he could beat the new generation heroes of the Supernova League.
âGo back to your own world to save those followers who want to be saved by you. With Mr. Joe Finn as an anchor here, I feel like another one of our kind will be coming soon,â said Supernova.
The heroes of the Supernova League returned to their own worlds one by one, devoting themselves to the great cause of âsavingâ their worlds⦠Only this would please the âcreatorsâ who admired them.
