Nic, in his own subconscious realm, could not use his powers and had to fight without strength.
"Zeta, are you seriously not going to help?" Nic looked at her pitifully.
But Zeta was sitting calmly, drinking tea.
[ Try harder first, Master Nic, hehe ]
Willingly or unwillingly, Nic had to fight alone. Elysia's hallucination anomalies were extremely absurd and noisy. If Nic's mental strength were weak, he would surely lose.
But because Nic's mental strength was strong, he easily destroyed the simple anomalies.
The real problem, however, was the anomalies that were Elysia's 'friends'; they ganged up and attacked simultaneously.
Nic deflected all of them, but he was almost eaten from behind, and it turned out Zeta saved Nic.
[ Ah, Master Nic really can't do without me, can he? ]
Zeta said, mocking him, then she immediately finished off the evil hallucination anomalies, leaving the good ones.
The good ones had been quiet and watching, not joining the attack, so they were easily distinguishable.
Nic approached them. "Hey, can you imitate my form?"
Elysia's hallucination friend understood and transformed to look like Nic. Although it was a bit strange, it was enough for Nic.
"Okay, good. Isn't my plan cool, Zeta?" Nic said, folding his arms.
[ I don't care, Master Nic. Now give her back to Elysia ]
After that, Nic was immediately woken up by Zeta. When he woke up, Nic was surprised to find himself cradled in Elysia's lap, who was sleeping with her head bowed.
"Hmm, she's cradling my head? Until she fell asleep?"
Afterward, Nic immediately transferred his hallucination creation to Elysia's brain.
Elysia felt it and was instantly startled, waking up. "Ugh, my head hurts..."
"Ah, sorry, did I wake you up?" Nic said softly.
Seeing Nic awake, Elysia was relieved, then she shook her head. "No, no... I just fell asleep for a bit... eh?"
Elysia looked back at her hallucination friends, and their appearance was different, but only one of them remained; the others had disappeared.
Nic asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to be cured?"
Elysia shook her head. "No, I'm just surprised. I thought my illness was gone, and I'm scared that I'll be lonely again when I'm alone because I won't have my hallucination friends."
Elysia explained that curing her pain would not necessarily make her happy.
"But you hate the hallucinations that make you uncomfortable and frustrated, right?" Nic asked.
Elysia looked at Nic gloomily. "That's true... they are noisy, but having one who understands me is enough. Even though he sometimes doesn't get to speak, he's the only one who can understand me and play with me."
"Don't worry, your good friend will continue to talk with you now without being bothered by the others because they have gone," Nic said with a smile.
Elysia was confused about what Nic meant. Nic explained by making up a story that he had just chased away Elysia's bad hallucination friends and left the good one.
Elysia immediately believed him and thanked Nic. She cried and was happy to hear that.
"How about now? Do you want to replace your evil hallucination friends with new, kind, and real friends? I'm sure you'll be happy if you join Unity. If not, it's okay... I won't force you anymore," Nic said.
Elysia was initially hesitant, but she chatted briefly with her hallucination friend and finally agreed.
After that, Nic brought Elysia to Unity City.
---
It was now very late, around 2 AM.
Nic was informed by Cecilia that they were all in the Unity park.
"Huh, what are they doing? Aren't they sleeping yet?" Nic wondered.
Nic immediately headed there with Elysia.
Upon arriving, Nic was surprised because everyone was gathered and no one was asleep.
Elysia was slightly nervous because it was so crowded.
Everyone was gathered there, playing. Then Cecilia realized Nic had arrived.
"Wow, finally you're here, and you got another one right away??" Cecilia said.
Nic activated God of Charisma, and everyone immediately fell silent, including Cecilia, who saw Nic shining brightly.
"Is everyone here? If so, introduce yourselves briefly, one by one, so everyone gets acquainted," Nic said with extraordinary charisma.
They introduced themselves in order:
1. Cecilia
2. Lamia
3. Alexa
4. Jenna
5. Lady Rose
6. Cynthia
7. Atha
8. Giselle
9. Mitha
10. Rista
11. Kinna
12. Kaela
13. Megan
14. Cici
15. And finally, Elysia
Then Nic activated Cupid Arsenal > Pistol and shot towards Kinna, Megan, Cici, and Elysia.
[ Ding! Congratulations, Master Nic successfully shot 4 girls at once! They are 100% loyal and in love! ]
[ Ding! Hearth Claim active. Kinna, Megan, Cici, and Elysia have been added to the girlfriend list! ]
[ Ding! Skill Transfer active! Gained 2 new skills: God of Reporter (When Master Nic asks anything, they will automatically answer quickly and honestly without refusal or lying) and God of Cameraman (Master Nic will gain survival luck if carrying a camera and acting as a cameraman) ]
"Cameraman never dies? Haha," Nic thought to himself.
Afterward, those Nic shot were confused about why Nic had pointed a gun-shaped hand at them. Were they being rejected?
Nic immediately explained that it was just a sign that they were accepted too.
"Can you all live harmoniously and cooperate as Unity?" Nic asked.
Everyone nodded, then Cecilia said she had already determined a place for Nic to build the headquarters.
After that, they went to the location, and Nic liked the place, which was near a river. Nic then told Cecilia to handle the construction, saying he would cover the costs.
"Can I help with the work?" Kaela asked.
"Actually, you don't need to, Kaela, but if you're really enthusiastic, go ahead," Nic said casually.
And after that, they stayed up late chatting until morning while walking around, and along the way...
"Elysia, would you like a hug?" Cynthia said.
Nic turned back, hearing that. He sensed the instinct of a mother seeing a child needing a hug.
"Ehh, is it okay...?" Elysia said, shyly.
Cynthia nodded, and Elysia immediately ran to hug her. It was very warm because Elysia was rarely hugged.
Cecilia, standing next to them, was jealous. "Mom, do you have a new child?"
Cynthia laughed. "Haha, my pretty daughter is jealous? Come here, come here, hug too!"
They all hugged, and everyone else joined in.
Nic laughed from afar and ran towards them.
"Ahahaha, I want a hug too~"
But Nic was immediately slapped by Cecilia until Nic kissed the road.
"Ugh, I'll just hug the road then."
