Night Ranger
chapter-561

As Marvin had guessed, he had already been asleep for days in Feinan. Three, to be precise.

When he didn't wake up on the first day, although Anna and the others were surprised, they only looked for a doctor and Madeline to check.

No one could see anything wrong with Marvin.

He just seemed to be sleeping, and there was no other sign that anything was wrong. Thus, they could only wait and see for the time being.

But when he was still asleep the next day, Anna and the others became quite sure that something was indeed wrong.

Madeline's soul was still connected to Marvin due to the book of Nalu.

She could sense some movement in Marvin's state of mind and his soul. She noticed some very intense fluctuations, as if he was actively experiencing something.

This situation put her on guard. She began consulting relevant information, but nothing that she found was of any help.

Marvin was more or less the only mighty pillar supporting the current White River Valley.

Although Madeline was a Legend, she was among the weakest of Legends.

If not for the existence of the Sanctuary, White River Valley would have already been eaten up by another force.

After Constantine and O'Brien left, White River Valley was still lacking power.

As for Black Dragon Izaka, if he knew that Marvin had lost consciousness, it would already be a good outcome if he just decided not to cause any trouble. He had been forced to sign an unfair contract under the threat of the Dragon Slaying Spear. Without Marvin as a restriction, he was a huge unstable element.

Similarly, their other most powerful allies weren't in White River Valley.

Ultimately, for lack of a better option, Anna and the others had to request external help.

Currently, White River Valley had some powerful allies. Thousand Leaves Forest, Rocky Mountain, and the Supreme Jungle were very formidable powers.

Although Thousand Leaves Forest was closest, Madeline felt that the Elves might not necessarily be able to help with Marvin's issue.

Regarding this matter, she was leaning toward Rocky Mountain.

Fate Sorcerers had unimaginable knowledge and power. Perhaps they could find a way.

Thus, the following day, Jessica and Lorie arrived together.

Of course, accompanying them was the Fortune Fairy, Ding. She had been brought back to life by Marvin. Since Marvin had a problem this time, she naturally would come to help.

"There is clearly the aura of Divine Power… Can't you tell?"

The Fortune Fairy sounded quite prideful as she addressed the higher-ups of White River Valley, while the latter all looked at each other in dismay.

Madeline, Anna, Lola, and the others all excelled at administrative matters, but they weren't as experienced with battles. When it came to knowledge of matters related to the Gods, they were no different from commoners.

But when they heard that Marvin's condition had something to do with the Gods, they felt their hearts being crushed.

Since the rise of White River Valley, Marvin had always set himself against the Gods to protect Feinan, so they had been afraid that something would happen to him because of it.

But Ding's expression was still calm. She circled around Marvin, like an adorable pup sniffing someone, before suddenly saying, "It's the aura of the Dream God…"

"Someone must have entered Marvin's consciousness!"

Jessica coldly muttered, "The Dream God? Isn't he still outside the Universe Magic Pool?"

"Maybe it's a Divine Servant," Ding suggested noncommittally, "but the Dream God probably personally helped. With the strength of White River Valley's Sanctuary, it would be very difficult for a Divine Servant to enter."

It was quite disconcerting to find out that a Divine Servant had managed to sneak into the Sanctuary and enter Marvin's consciousness.

This meant that their defenses were far from enough.

But regardless of anything else, the most important matter now was to rescue Marvin from the dream.

Fortunately, this was something the Fate Sorceresses could do.

Ding revealed a strange smile as her gaze settled on Lorie.

...

Dream space.

Ambella was looking fearfully at Lance, who was still approaching at a leisurely pace.

She had planned to leave this space shortly after Marvin noticed her. In fact, if not for Lance's appearance, she would have already successfully escaped!

But now, an indescribable power was blocking her magic and all her tricks!

She was frantically praying in her mind, using the power of her position as the 1st Divine Servant to ask for the help of the Dream God.

But it was all in vain.

A powerful force was blocking her prayers, and she simply wasn't able to let the Dream God know what was happening to her in Marvin's consciousness.

"Why, why…"

"Why are you doing this?"

Ambella looked at Lance with shock.

She had an ominous premonition.

Marvin was actually related to the Great Wizard God! This was a startling piece of information!

Everyone believed that the Wizard God had already died, or at least left Feinan indefinitely, and thus the three Great Gods dared to attack the Universe Magic Pool.

But for any God or Divine Servant, the name Lance was supreme.

Now that Lance himself actually appeared in front of her, her entire body was close to collapsing.

Maybe it was because of guilt. After all, the Dream God and the other Gods were attacking the Universe Magic Pool, which had been personally established by Lance.

Lance only looked at her with a bit of pity. "You didn't do anything wrong. But sometimes, right and wrong don't dictate your life and death."

"Sorry."

Then, Ambella disappeared.

Marvin watched the exchange while in a daze.

This version of Lance was definitely just a fragment of his memory.

But even so, he possessed such frightening power.

'What is going on in the end?'

'What did he do?'

"She is already dead. Even the Dream God won't be able to know what happened." Lance still had a peaceful expression as he reassured Marvin. "You also don't have to worry too much. I'm just a piece of your memories, I'm unable to harm you."

Marvin frowned as he asked, "If you are just a piece of my memory, why are you so powerful?"

Lance was a bit embarrassed as he said, "This is very difficult to explain… Let's use an analogy. On Earth, would you be able to help an ant understand astrophysics?"

Marvin was speechless.

That comparison was simply humiliating. Lance's meaning was quite simple: they were on completely different levels of existence.

Even if Lance explained it for him, Marvin wouldn't be able to understand it...

This kind of truth was really hard to hear.

Fortunately, Marvin wasn't someone who would remain stuck on something that he couldn't do anything about. He quickly recovered and thought of the questions that had been on his mind.

"Was it you who made me leave Earth and transmigrate to Feinan?"

"The game, did it come about through your arrangements?"

"In the end, who are you? Is Feinan real?"

"And the last question…"

"Why me?"

He stared at Lance.

The latter opened his mouth and began to speak.
