Chapter 98 - Ch 98 ( The Garden Of Dream)

Litha and Sho are extremely surprised as they see a massive garden in the morning light, a very beautiful and enormous garden extending beyond infinity. Sho looks toward Ford and says:

"Do you know where we are now?"

. Ford speaks in fear and says:

"We are now in the Dream Garden, where everything in it is strange and seems illogical at first glance"

. Then Sho sits on a completely black throne and creates another one for Litha, then looks toward Ford and says:

"And now first tell me, what is your relation to the owner of that story"

. Ford sighs and feels sad, then says:

"I am an existential entity that is the opposite of the existence of another entity called Oxford"

. Sho is extremely surprised but hides it, and Ford continues and says:

"And although I did not meet Sho personally, I possess part of Oxford's memories that allowed me to know his past, and this is something extremely strange compared to the others here"

. Sho thinks and focuses and remembers that when he read that book he did not actually find any mention of Ford at all, and Oxford was in his place, and Litha listens as well, then Ford continues and says:

"Sho and Oxford were friends, but a person named Zoldyck took control of him and made him on the verge of destroying everything in the material world, so Oxford gathered all his strength and was able to kill him and felt an indescribable sorrow and died as well, and they moved to the spiritual world, and Oxford never found Sho after that, but he still remembers him"

. Ford feels that his thoughts are chaotic, then continues and says:

"Those books in the infinite library are indeed just places and other angles by which some values change, and every book is in fact a real world that we see only as stories and lowly texts"

. Sho looks at him and says to himself:

"[Oxford, that mad world that wanted to control everything, I saw his mention of him in that story of mine. He had a brother, he wanted to bring them back from the beginning and could not do that in the material world in any way, so he found Sho and was satisfied with him as a friend, and after he died he was extremely sad and killed himself]"

. Litha holds Sho's cloak and raises her hand, pointing toward something and says:

"Look!"

. Sho looks and is shocked as he sees a little boy exactly like young Sho, as if it were him. At that moment Ford speaks and says:

"In the Dream Garden, every thought you keep deep inside you in the depths of your consciousness becomes a reality here. I do not know where this child came from"

. Sho looks toward Ford and continues the conversation.

. While Litha stands and heads toward him, where there is a child wearing a puffy blue coat, with brown hair and brown eyes and completely white skin, a little boy not more than 9 years old. Litha stands in front of him while he is holding flowers, specifically the blue flower.

. Litha speaks in a friendly and beautiful voice and says:

"Hello? What is your name?"

. The little boy turns and sees a very beautiful lady, so his cheeks turn red and he turns again and runs with those small feet, and he feels embarrassed, so Litha runs after him, then the little boy falls to the ground covered with flowers, and Litha, using her power, makes him sit.

. The little boy thinks for a few moments, then Litha speaks and says:

"What is that beautiful flower? Is it for me?"

. The little boy's cheeks turn red again and he moves his head up and down confirming it is for her, then he offers the flower to her with his small hand.

. In the neighboring area, Ford continues and says:

"He is in Gorgon Fortress located after the Dream Garden connected to the Crystal Ice region and specifically in the Fire Abyss area"

. Sho feels a little annoyed as he hears Nol's screams many times while he dies and is revived repeatedly, so Sho looks toward Ford and says:

"Are you interested in the existence of the boy Nol?"

. Ford is surprised and says to himself:

"[He got him too, it does not matter, I have nothing to do with this matter]"

. Ford smiles while sweating and says:

"Do with him whatever you want, this has nothing to do with me"

. Sho looks toward the abyss beyond infinity beside him, where the Dream Garden is beside it, followed by a completely black and relatively small abyss, then Sho uses the Eye of Infinity to bring Nol out in Sho's hand.

. Nol bleeds from his entire body countless amounts of blood, and before Sho hears any word, he simply throws Nol into the abyss, and so that he hears no sound from him and with its pure darkness cuts his metaspiritual cords responsible for transmitting the metaspiritual sound.

. Sho looks toward Ford and asks him if he wants anything else before returning him to the loop that will be good and not terrifying, and Ford replies and says:

"No, I want nothing except one question: is Max Nazzal still alive?"

. Sho activates the Eye of Infinity and replies to him, saying:

"He has been erased from existence"

. Then suddenly Ford disappears completely and enters an endless loop of life, not death, to find himself in an area beyond infinity where the ground is like glass, completely black, and above him are stars. He sits alone without torment, only thinking.

. Litha leans forward, goes down, and gets some flowers as well so she can smell them and play with the child, and suddenly Sho gives her a light slap on the rear that makes her surprised, so she whispers and says:

"Not in front of the child, Sho"

. Then Litha smiles and stands upright while Sho approaches the child who is collecting flowers, then speaks and says:

"What is your name, boy?"

. The boy does not want to speak and appears frightened, so Sho smiles at him and says in a low voice while looking toward Litha:

"Do you see that lady? She is the most precious thing I have. She is so kind and friendly and serious in serious situations"

. Litha feels a little embarrassed by her husband's affectionate words and notices the boy's gaze, from which it seems that he is afraid of something.

. Litha sits on her knees and puts her hands on the child, then takes him into her embrace and seats him on her lap. Sho looks and notices that the boy is looking toward the darkness in the deepest areas of the Dream Garden.

. Sho speaks and says:

"What is wrong with you? What are you afraid of?"

. The boy points his finger toward the absolute darkness, so Sho and Litha look toward it, then the boy says in a low and innocent voice:

"It seems unfriendly. This darkness is not my friend. I hate it"

. Sho understands everything and knows that this little boy is a manifestation of the deep idea about his days before everything, before all destruction, before the nuclear war, when there was only peace and children's fear of the unknown. Sho sits on his foot and speaks and says:

"You must be strong. You must be tough, boy. The world is harsh and unfair. You will face many things. This unknown darkness, what if I told you that it is part of me? Would you fear me?"

. The boy is surprised and then says:

"No, you seem kind and a good friend"

. Sho smiles, then strokes his head and stands looking at the child, then says:

"Exactly. In the end you may find precious things in the darkness. Darkness always hides what is more precious, better, and more sublime than what is in the light, where everyone knows it"

. The child understands and stands and continues playing with the flowers happily, no longer sad at that moment. Sho looks toward Litha, who listened to his words with the child, words that were directed at her, so Litha embraces him with all her love.

. Then Sho laughs a light laugh and lifts Litha again onto his shoulder and continues the journey while Litha waves to the little child, then Sho and Litha set off in the Dream Garden that surpasses infinity.

. And in the depths of the abyss, while Nol falls forever, suddenly he sees himself in a strange place where the ground is completely golden, while golden feathers fall everywhere, then he sees something strange manifested as an entity with horns, and he notices that he regained his metaspiritual vocal cords so he says:

"Who are you?"

. The entity does not answer, then suddenly it pierces Nol's body with horror, making Nol scream in pain while the entity occupies his body and makes it a vessel for itself.
