"It's all an illusion, Glere."
Glere tipped his head quizzically and didn't respond for a moment.
"This world, I mean. It's manufactured. It has a physicality to it, but it's a Nightmare's territory; I can practically taste it. I am a nightmare hunter. This is what I do."
"I don't care about the contest. Asteira is a nothing--a Minus, I think, somewhere between B-rank and a low S." He didn't bother to explain the categorization or ranking.
"I want to see the guts of this world. I want to tear apart the real and see the falsehood that lies underneath--and I do mean that literally. But first I need to tear the layer we see to pieces, to get just enough energy to move deeper."
Spender finally nodded to himself and blasted open a nearby doorway. "If you want to be helpful, see if you can find a way to ram a bunch of these platforms together. If I can get enough of the power cores together, I might be able to start a tear."
He paused, then turned and flipped Glere a coin. "You recall the Superbowl Special. This is the normal version of that spell. No matter what you imagine--a fantasy creature, a mecha, whatever--you'll become it, and your real body will be hidden for the duration. Just don't get defeated."
