Dream

Regarding Olivia's suggestion, Charles could only say he would give it a try, but he couldn't guarantee success.

After all, requesting those mysterious crystal powders at a time like this made their intentions far too obvious.

The leader of Dreamland Paradise might not be willing to hand over the mysterious crystal powder, even in exchange for Sweet Dream and Nightmare.

Charles stated that he would handle this matter himself.

He told Olivia not to worry about it and to leave the God's Ruins for the time being.

The God's Ruins was not a safe place; if one could avoid staying there, it was best to leave.

Olivia nodded, signaling her understanding.

After leaving Charles, Olivia walked around the floating islands, pondering what she should do next.

As she walked, clergy members passing by greeted her one after another.

Given her current status and position, wherever there were clergy members, they found it hard to ignore her.

After all, she was a Protagonist of the Era!

In any organization or power, those who could be called a Protagonist of the Era always received special treatment.

Of course, not every organization possessed someone who could be called a Protagonist of the Era.

For instance, Dreamland Paradise had no one who fit that description.

After making a round, Olivia intended to exit the church headquarters and leave the God's Ruins.

However, before she could, the conversation of some passing clergy members made her pause.

Olivia stopped a nun who had just greeted her and was about to leave, asking, “Did you just mention the Earth Church and me?”

The nun was momentarily nervous at being stopped by Olivia and quickly answered.

“Does Sister Olivia not know? People from the Earth Church have come to demand something from you. They say that what you took from their Protagonist of the Era, Atticus, should be returned to them. Our church is currently in a dispute with them over this.”

Olivia knew exactly what was going on as soon as she heard it.

The Earth Church was likely after the God-Stone. They didn't want her to just walk away with such an item and wanted to get it back.

Yet, she had actually learned about this from other clergy members, which showed that the church had no intention of telling her about it.

The church was blocking all the disputes for her, which Olivia found somewhat amusing.

Since the church was already shielding her from the Earth Church, there was no need for her to get involved.

However, out of curiosity, Olivia still asked the magic mirror in her heart to learn about the details of the situation.

The magic mirror relayed everything to her in detail.

After a brief overview, Olivia realized that the Earth Church placed quite a bit of importance on the God-Stone. They weren't just demanding it; they had even offered to pay a price to trade with the church, but the Radiant Light Church had refused everything.

After gaining this understanding, Olivia withdrew her attention, planning to leave the area first.

...

The God's Ruins.

Between the vast heaven and earth, a figure in a white robe was walking at a leisurely pace.

It was a woman with a graceful figure and a youthful appearance, looking like a young lady who had just entered society.

At this moment, she was in a very strange state. As she walked, her body would occasionally flicker as if she weren't a real person but an illusion.

She arrived at the spot where Olivia had entered the church headquarters and stared at the area.

“Radiant Light Church's Protagonist of the Era, Olivia. Since you entered the church headquarters from here, you should be coming out from here as well. But you probably didn't expect someone to be waiting for you outside, did you?”

The lady chuckled softly.

Although she gave off a youthful impression, her facial features were very blurred, and her entire being was somewhat ethereal, making it impossible to see her clearly. She simply waited there quietly.

She was none other than Dream!

As the leader of Dreamland Paradise, Dream possessed sufficient caution and intelligence.

She had not participated in Dreamland Paradise's operation against the Radiant Light Church, nor had she even gone near it.

Consequently, while Sweet Dream and Nightmare were eventually captured, she remained untouched.

Instead, based on the fact that Sweet Dream and Nightmare had been caught, she made several follow-up deductions.

She felt that given Sweet Dream and Nightmare's situation, they wouldn't be able to keep any secrets and would surely be interrogated by the church.

Once the church learned about Rose, they would inevitably head to the God's Ruins to investigate the place where Rose had once appeared.

So, she had rushed over.

Of course, she was extremely cautious. Even when she saw Olivia earlier, she didn't dare to act lightly, fearing that Olivia herself was bait and that the church had anticipated her move, creating a 'mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind' scenario.

Thus, she watched with her own eyes as Olivia entered the church headquarters, and afterward, she used various means to inspect the surroundings.

After a hundred-fold confirmation, she was finally certain that no other church members were hiding in the shadows and that Olivia had truly come alone.

Only then did she reveal herself and wait in the area where Olivia had entered the church headquarters.

“Truly worthy of being a Protagonist of the Era. Only a Domainist, yet you entered a place like the God's Ruins all by yourself.”

Dream shook her head as she spoke.

It was normal for powerful people to be confident, but overconfidence was a different story.

For example, wasn't this current Protagonist of the Era about to be cornered by her?

A so-called Protagonist of the Era did not truly stand above the entire era, invincible.

In history, there were cases of a Protagonist of the Era being killed by someone who wasn't one.

The ones who acted were, of course, those whose class rank was far higher than the Protagonist of the Era. As long as there was suppression in terms of class rank, even a Protagonist of the Era couldn't change anything.

“The church captured two Evolvers from our Dreamland Paradise, and I heard you played a crucial role in that.

“It seems you also played a significant role in the church's previous operation against Rose.

“Do you have any idea how much of a thorn you've become in my side?”

Dream looked at the spot where Olivia had disappeared. Even though her form appeared ethereal, the coldness in her eyes was still clearly visible.
