Cuttlefish That Loves Diving
I wonder if Lumian was helping the Padre somewhat in the real timeline (Wanted powers; naive), that would explain how he would know the actual powers of the padre and the evil him, he gets double crossed and his sister is sacrificed causing the mental anguish
Hm, good guess but we know that his corruption stems from COI so what if instead of unraveling memories he can subconsciously see they’re past, present, and future. This allows him to see what others have learned or will learn.
Saint_Billiam:Im pretty sure what happens is that when people enter the dream, their memories get unraveled and viewed by lumian’s subconsious mind. This would somewhat explain how aurore was able to teach him her mysticisim knowledge and how he was able to learn everything so quickly. Honestly, there are just way too many possible reasons as to why everything happened as it did, but i can gurantee that your guess is in no way possible and completely baseless. Fors said in the previous chapter that his obsession with superpowers developed after everything happened, and it was due to his powerlessness during the ritual that he started wanting to become a beyonder.
Amazing misdirection. We thought it’s a time loop the whole time but it was rlly a dream. I guess the aid Fors provided was to help Lumian grow irl and wake up. I wonder if anything could have actually changed with the Circle of Inevitability’s power/corruption. Probably not and Lumian was just desperately trying to change things….can’t wait to see Lumian/Fors talk more about this
Even though people had previously speculated that the dream was reality and I was prepared for it, this was still... oof. I guess we can be thankful Lumian and the Beyonder trio survived, and Lumian gets his chance to (compulsorily) join the official Beyonders... I wonder what more Lumian and the "mysterious woman" would have discussed, she did say she'd give him an honorific name after the loop.
I am confused. So, when did the three investigators arrive at Cordu in the reality timeline? If it was before the destruction how did they survive and why can't they remember the real events? If it was after did they just happen to walk into the dream-area and Lumian linked their dreams to his, which refers to when the novel starts in Chapter 1?
