After figuring out what to do, Dream didn't hesitate to test the theory. He was now on a clock, so the faster things went, the better.In the Arcana skill, there were thousands of strings. Many had different bits of data, enabling them to do different things. Dream needed to figure out which strings allowed him to control each energy.With Sophia's help, he was able to activate one string at a time. When he did, he used his influence as the medium to exert the power of the string onto the conflicting energies within his soul'Didn't work. Next.'After trying one of the strings on both energies, he found that it did nothing. Accepting it, he moved on to the next.1 string, 5 strings, 50 strings, 500 strings, 5,000 strings.Dream went through each and every one, not leaving a single one unchecked. Some strings would work on Luna's energy, and some strings would work on Iris's energy. Sophia kept track of which did which as they went along.<[Arcana] has levele
Although Dream suggested doing some experiments, he and the girls took some time to settle down a bit more. It had been an emotionally and mentally taxing 5 days for all of them, and a bit of recovery was in order.However, for these three, recovery usually involved them going out and fighting demons, allowing Iris to eat, gather energy, and send it to them. But doing this required them to activate their powers, and the girls were still skittish about the thought. They were worried that any sort of energy usage or fluctuations in their soul would cause imbalances in Dream's delicate mediation between their contracts.So Dream decided to take a day or two to just relax. During this time, he inquired with the two about their new skills and whatnot.Apparently during this advancement, Iris had gotten the least amount of changes. First, she got a new title called [Blessed of the Void]. And as per her [Spectral Annihilator] class, she got one skill called [Annihilation] and one called [Dep
After fighting for a long while and venting his anger on the demons, Dream eventually wiped them all out, and having calmed down, he decided to go back up to the factory.As they were heading up, Sophia gave him a rundown of the general global situation. Turns out, the armies were making great progress.From what Sophia had heard, the human armies were planning on pushing all the way to the landbridge. From there they would hunker down, stabilize their position, and then focus on recuperating at home. They had been thrown into disarray with the fall of the Mercenary Empire and the overall state of affairs didn't warrant an all out assault on the demon continent.The situation was similar with the Animal Empires. Actually, if directly comparing their states, the animal armies had it much better. The Empire at the forefront was the United Empire, otherwise known as the strongest single Empire on the planet. With everyone supporting that Empire in the war efforts, taking the offensive wa
After the battle at the stronghold, the Human Empires made a full retreat. They hunkered down in the cities and didn't come out. However, they were still able to find out about the nukes. It was difficult to hide such destructive weapons anyway.Dream made sure to do exactly as he said. No demon settlement was spared except for the ones with less than a few million. Those would be either taken out by his soldiers or the girls. All in all, none were spared, and within a week, most of the demons on the demon continent had been wiped out of existence.The whole thing caused Dream to sigh. He hadn't kept the war going out of personal gain. He wanted to let the Empires strengthen. That's what was so different about this world. Unlike how it used to be on Earth, conflict didn't only or mostly result in negatives. Here, whoever won the conflict would come out with many gains in the form of strength. In fact, during the war there had been 3 humans from the Empires who became class 4's. It was

After the demons were wiped out, the state of the world greatly calmed, and people started to reboot their original lifestyles.Businesses reopened, soldiers returned home, many went back to schools, academies, and the like. Projects were also being carried out in an attempt to rebuild the many kingdoms that were partially destroyed. However, despite the reduced tension, everybody was still a little on edge. They didn't know if the news about the demons being totally wiped out was true. After all, there were hundreds of millions, and for that many of any species to be destroyed in only a few days was unreal.But sure enough, after several expeditionary teams were sent over to the demon continent, the news was verified. No matter where they looked, the only things the teams and scouts found were massive craters, leveled mountains, valleys of ashes, and even a new volcano. In fact, both the landbridges had been so obliterated that they were now under the ocean, making it difficult for t
"Demons..."This was the first conclusion Dream came to as he saw the advancing hordes. After all, there was only one race that had an invasive nature like this. There could be nothing else in his mind that would act as they do.However, the sheer scale of this movement had him baffled. Just from what they were seeing now, on each continent, there were already 500 million, and they weren't even done pouring out. This meant there were easily a billion, and they were launching their attacks on two fronts at the same time.The destination of the waves of demons were clear too. From both sides of the human continent, demons poured from the ocean and immediately advanced towards the Sword School and Spire who were nearest to the coasts. As of now, there were 200 million going toward each Empire. As for the Animal continent, the demons were heading straight for the United Empire and Elven Tree that occupied the center of the continent.In only 20 minutes, the day had gone from a relaxed Sun
After they disappeared from the factory, the girls soon reappeared next to Dream who was making his way to the human continent."...Dream?""We'll go down and sweep some of the areas with the soldiers. After getting a good estimate of how dense the class 4's are, we can gauge their overall strength and determine if we can safely fight them like this. If things are within the realm of acceptability, then you two can go around all you like and fight them.""...Alright.""Things should be good though. Although I'm already getting batches of my soldiers destroyed, it's showing that the class 4's aren't that dense. Dense enough to wipe out my soldiers on a wide scale, but not enough to worry about gangs of 100 coming after you. So let's check out some land and see if that's right."Saying that, Dream flew them to the outer lands of the continent where the demons were advancing. After arriving above the armies that spanned as far as the eye could see, he dropped down and released his mana a
