Chapter 73: The Swaying Pocket Watch

Elias stared intently at Olivia standing before him.

He had delved into numerous ancient tomes, sifting through dusty pages that vaguely chronicled legends of this ancient deity.

The "Realm of Illusory Dreams," as the legends described, was akin to a mysterious space born from the subconscious or dream constructs, where the laws of physics varied greatly from reality. 

It was a realm inhabited by malevolent races and even wicked deities. 

Some "fortunate" humans would accidentally stumble into it – a bizarre world ruled by Nodens, an ancient deity.

But what he hadn't anticipated was Olivia wielding similar powers, crafting a small yet intricately complete, illusory world.

Was it her innate talent as a scion of the ancient gods, or had she... perhaps communicated with that eminent entity?

These were not matters for him to ponder now. 

Knowing her tactics, Elias had a strategy to counter them.
