After Tersa and Dream came to a consensus, Dream was quick to begin transforming the planet.The pool of nanites quickly became a lake, and then a sea. The nanites constructed dozens of fusion reactors that further powered their expansion. The nanites also formed clusters that would launch themselves to all corners of the planet, establishing more sites of expansion.Dream was going to engulf this entire planet, turning it all into pure material. After that, there would be nothing he couldn't do with it.While the nanites expanded, Dream had them create massive machines at different points on the planet. These machines would be responsible for terraforming the planet, modifying its atmosphere in order to make it hospitable. At the same time, factories were erected that began producing powerful bots and ships. Naturally, Dream had to establish massive magic machines that would be responsible for enchanting everything. His bots and ships could no longer survive in space with just physic

After a bit more looking, Dream suddenly sent the books around him back to their places. His control over the repository's enchantments also retracted, leaving a back door just in case.Seeing that he was done, Vela looked at him oddly."So... was it helpful?""Not as much as I thought it would be."Dream let out a small breath as he spoke. Vela was surprised by his disappointment."Really? Those books record a large part of the advancement process. They've helped very many people in their advancements.""Those books only contain superficial knowledge. It doesn't grasp the core truths of the advancement process.""They definitely do. I know because I've read those books and used their knowledge in my own advancement.""No, you misunderstand. They don't hold the core truths, because the most foundational processes during advancement are overseen by the System. Thus, you can't possibly understand those truths. You were never allowed to.""...Oh."Vela was stunned silent, unable to retor

Over the next few hours, Dream and Riddick continued to fight their pairs of grand demons.And although Dream's battle prowess didn't come as a surprise to himself, it came as a shock to Riddick. The entire time, he was paying half attention to Dream, ready to jump in should he be put in danger. But not only did that never happen, it seemed like he was rather relaxed.Dream responded fluidly to every attack that was thrown at him. He was just as quick as the demons fighting him, and considering there were two who were throwing out over a dozen coordinated attacks every second, that was impressive. It was hard to believe that he was still a class 3.The demons however, were scared witless. Although Dream hadn't done anything to reveal an insane level of power, they hadn't been able to do anything to him. If that were it, it wouldn't be too bad, but when one of the demons had tried to escape, Dream unleashed unprecedented speed and locked the demon down with a few insanely powerful atta

After Dream placed his hand on the deer's head, he inserted his mana which simultaneously locked the deer in place and invaded his soul. The deer could do nothing but let him do whatever he wanted.[Beginning Hierarchy subordination...]Sophia spoke, and the next moment, the deer's eyes went wide.[Infiltrating soul... Applying conversion... Branding Hierarchy... Problem.]'What?'[Hierarchy needs someone to be attached to, like a soul connection. The problem is that I haven't directly written the Hierarchy skill to your soul, so there's nothing to subordinate someone to.]'Is there something preventing you from writing the skill to my soul?'[It could cause changes to your future development. Hierarchy isn't something to take lightly considering it's something innate to the demons. Although I've tailored the skill to you, it will still fundamentally change how your soul connections work.]'Like with the

Dream watched everything that happened from the live feed, and he was most pleased."Very good. These soda cans are rather capable. But we're not done yet. Launch the fusion bomb."[Understood.]With the order, the railgun alternated its hatches and inserted a bomb about the same size as the soda can. Once it was locked in, the railgun only had to charge a little bit before sending the payload. These bombs weren't kinetic based, so they didn't need atrocious speeds.The reason why Dream decided to launch a bomb on top of the kinetic round was that many of the demons were still alive. Only the weaker demons class 2 and under were killed, and class 3's and up were able to survive it.So he sent in another bomb to wipe the floor.[Launching.]*Dsh*The railgun launched the bomb, hardly creating any light or arcs of electricity. It seemed very ordinary and unimpressive compared to the kinetic round.But the result was anything but unimpressive. As the payload used gravity to descend, it s
