For the next few hours, Dream and the girls danced the night away. The girls especially. They looked stupid, cute, sexy, and inexperienced all at once.With their ability, it didn't take the girls long to learn to dance a bit. And once they got into it, they got into it.It was probably due to the mana-infused music, but Dream had never seen Iris so... well, sexual. That was usually Luna's thing. And since it was nothing malicious, he didn't stop the cause for her change in attitude. Technically, only he really had the 'immunity'. Unless the girls detected the music's influence, they couldn't stop it.Not that he regretted letting the music do its thing. He loved it. Seeing that side of Iris was exhilarating. She even decided to take it upon herself and copy the others around them, grinding up against him. Moving her body every which way in that sexy black dress to the point where her scent was almost rubbed into his clothes. Dream was as turned on as he was surprised by her boldness.
"...E-Excuse me?"The fox, who had been all high and mighty a second ago, was baffled. Not because of what Dream said, but because he didn't understand.Was that supposed to be an insult? It sure sounded like it. But what did magnum dong mean? He had no idea, and wasn't sure how to respond to Dream.Riddick and the girls though were positively stunned. They knew exactly what that meant. And while the girls knew what Dream just did, Riddick was the only one who truly understood the ramifications of doing such a thing. Telling a class 4 to come and suck it? If those foxes understood, they wouldn't hesitate to decapitate Dream where he stood.But that was only IF they understood. And Dream knew that they didn't get a word of that. As for letting them know what it meant, he wouldn't. He wasn't that stupid."It means no."Dream made it simple. The fox also decided to take it simply and recover from his befuddlement."No? You're nothing more than a bystander to this conflict, so don't start
When Dream woke up, he saw that it was dark outside.'Is it night?'[It's actually morning. You slept through the rest of that day and night.]'...Oh.'Dream laid there and stared at the ceiling as his brain slowly boot up."...How are they?"[They's had one more small skirmish, but otherwise nothing. I've tasked 5 drones in total to monitor them and their surroundings.]"...Ok"As he laid there, his mind went through everything that happened yesterday. Like, where did they go wrong? When were they spotted? And how the hell did those foxes lie in wait for 20 years? That's an absurd amount of time. At least, from Dream's perspective it was.But there's no chance for a do-over. Now, he's by himself. Other than worry, there's nothing he can do for the family. Anything he did personally would only burden them. So keeping his distance was the best answer."...I need to level up, huh."[I already have targets. Bears, birds, wolves, reptiles, bulls. I'm just not sure what level they are. You
Since Dream had the rest of the day after the wolf hunt, he decided not to waste it.He got back to his small little house and decided that the first thing he needed to do was expand the place. He couldn't work on anything when there was barely enough space for a toilet.What he decided to do was make himself a lake house. Though the house would be a bit unconventional. Since he was by himself, he only needed a place to sleep, a place to bathe, and a place to work. So he made himself those three rooms.The first was the bedroom, which stayed simple. A bed, and a carpet for his feet. He also created space where he could eat food, which consisted of basically a table and a chair.Second was the bathroom. This also stayed simple. A bathtub and other essentials. Interesting thing was, as he began climbing in strength, he found himself not needing to go to the bathroom. Sophia said that it was his body being more efficient in addition to slight changes in his genetics. A mutation if you wi
After the bullet finished it's work and killed the wolf, Dream nodded.'I should see about getting Imbue and Scribe to max level. Seems easy enough.'[The we should try more dynamic instructions. Here, I got one.]Sophia began writing to the next bullet. At the same time, all the bystander wolves who saw their kin die began to properly freak out.*Oouuwww!*Howls were let out and they all began running every which way. Many instantly darted for their caves while others began patrolling the area, sniffing for threats. Dream also saw some wolves turn invisible, though he could still sense them. The entire den was on high alert.'So what's this bullet?'Dream inspected the enchantment Sophia was making.[The gas variation. It'll collect gas as it travels and when it plants itself in the target, explodes.]'...Damn. Alright.'Dream took aim at one of the wolves that turned invisible, firing at it's gut.*Dsh**POP*The bullet landed and the gas was released, causing the wolf's body to sud
For the rest of that day, Dream kept on making mana cubes.As each cube was made and began gathering, he would drain their small supplies of mana and assist in making another cube. By the end of the day, he had made 200 cubes that could hold C- levels of mana.Not only that, but he did some tests with the mana ball. The basic theory was that the ball would suck in mana and spit it towards Dream, thereby increasing the mana density around him and making it easier for him to regenerate mana. Since the balls could cover more area, all of them together would supply lots of mana.So the first thing he did was enchant 20 balls of iron. They weren't that big. He could fit a few in his palm. Each of them had the vortex and could store a little bit of mana for basic function.When he had them made, he stepped outside and spread them out. They covered him like a dome and spread out evenly about 30 feet from him. When they were activated, they worked as expected and began pushing mana towards hi
The wolf felt as if its head was on fire after the ball appearedThis was indeed the heat bomb that Dream made. It was designed to heat everything within the vicinity as quickly as possible using every drop of mana it had. The only downside was that it didn't distinguish between friendly and enemy. It was more of a 'to whom it may concern'. And since Dream was also right next to it, he was on the list.The wolf immediately began regretting its decision. It crashed into Dream and they both went to the floor.The wolf tried to spit out the ball, but its teeth were in the way. Dream had brought out the ball inside its maws and connected the metal to its teeth using some heat. The wolf wouldn't be able to spit out the ball unless it removed a few of its fangs.*ARRRR!!!*As the ball continued heating the wolf's face, it began to cry out more and more. It didn't even have the mind to remember it was in a battle. It's skin began to melt, its blood boiled along with all the other fluids in i
"So if we're going to do this, we need a super-safe safe house. I'm immediately thinking of just digging like 300 feet underground and sealing myself in a steel box. Thoughts?"Dream, who was very paranoid about being vulnerable, went to Sophia for her input.[Well, I guess I agree with going underground. Sure, why not.]"Alright."Dream got out of bed and went to his workshop. When he entered, Sophia began digging a hole in the floor.The hole went straight down and was a very deep hole. And it only took moments to form. Huge amounts of dirt and rock were pulled out and throw aside. Eventually, Dream had a hole about 100 meters deep."Great. That was very easy."[A result of the class advancement. Now jump inside.]"Huh?"[Just go.]"Alright."Dream didn't fight her and jumped down the hole. Though as he began falling with nothing to help him land, he immediately regretted it."Ahh! I'm gonna die! Grab wall!"*Thunk*Dream panicked and threw his arm into the wall, burying it to the e
"What was that?! How do you know the World Eater?"Not long after Luna left, Vursoid appeared in front of Dream. He wasn't the only one. The rest of the asura gods appeared as well.7 gods stood around Dream, who continued to sit lazily in his chair. Truly, any demigod standing in here now might pass out from the stifling Wills. But Dream remained unaffected, simply because he understood far too much about Will.He scratched his head.Dream was honestly surprised. Not by Iris, but by how quicky everyone was able to figure out who he was. Ziji only needed to hear that single name, Dream, and he figured out who he was.Of course, Ziji also knew far more about the universe than Dream. Ziji knew the famous World Eater, Iris, and knew that she had come from a world with an Asura Craftsman. This was Dream's lie that he planted not just in Giros' head, but in his book as well. The book that Giros held carried all the information about the world he oversaw, and anybody above him could look at
Nothing changed much after Luna and Alice appeared. For the next long while, Dream continued to lay back and ponder the universe.In his concept of Physical Reality, Dream was constantly learning all he could from those around him. Vursoid gave the greatest amounts of information while Dream occasionally mined away with Kevin or steal some of Quanta's gadgets.After some time, Dream quickly noticed an abnormality with the others though.None of them attempted to comprehend all aspects of Physical Reality. For instance, Quanta specialized in devices based off of quantum mechanics, but Kevin hadn't the slightest clue about how Quanta's bots worked. For someone who was comprehending a concept, Dream found it shocking to know that they didn't study everything.They all fell into their own specialized paths and pushed that set of knowledge to its extremes. This was very much unlike Dream who worked from the ground up, learning absolutely everything he could across every subject.Dream obvi
Luna and Alice instantly appeared on the other side of the portal, and they looked at their new surroundings.There were tall buildings all around, and people rushing down busy streets. All of them were asuras."The Blood Drop Primary World."Luna mumbled. She obviously had intel on this place, and all the other significant celestial landmarks throughout the universe. Coming here was simple for her.Then, she turned her head, looking at the building beside her."Dream's Armory?"She was a bit stunned when she saw all the thousands of people flooding in and out of this cubic building.Before she could get curious though, she suddenly felt herself shudder. Her soul bond that had been dormant for years was finally strengthened. She could feel Dream on the other side, and immediately knew exactly where he was. Alice felt the same thing.Without hesitation, both of them jumped into the void, appearing on the planet next to the primary world. Specifically, she appeared in Dream's mechanical
The last place Dream stopped was Kevin's mountain. At the base, he walked through the entrance of a mineshaft before descending through the eerily silent tunnels.At first, Dream didn't think that this tunnel could descend very far. From the ground until the edge of this world, one could only descend 2 miles at most. Dream's metal tree rooted a bit over a mile deep before hitting the edge of the inverted world.But Dream was easily able to tell when he went far deeper than what was possible. At some point, he went 20 miles deep. It was only here that he finally arrived at the end of the long tunnel.The sounds of clanging metal rang out as Dream turned a corner. When he peeked out, he saw Kevin digging away with his pickaxe. It didn't look like there was anything special behind his actions, but Dream refused to believe he did this for no reason."If you're here for tutelage, then start digging."Kevin plainly spoke, prompting Dream to conjure a pickaxe out of thin air. Merely using th
A month after Dream officially spread his business, word spread like wildfire.Dream knew it would take a while for publicity to reach him. In truth, he had actually expected a month to be all he needed for his business to explode. And sure enough, it happened exactly as he thought.Dream's bots were too useful. They were manufactured power, something unseen in the wider universe. Dream didn't know of any others, god or otherwise, that could make use of physical energy and arcane transmutation to create bots capable of crushing anything above the class 3 level.After all, normal power was individualized. A person had to increase the power of their souls through skills and levels, opening up larger energy reserves that could be used to move magic with greater power. But these bots didn't need the energy reserves of a soul. They could use energy from physical sources and convert it into magical power.While this conversion wasn't infinite, relying on enchantments to transmute, Dream mad
Orin nodded at Dream."Very well. Your services are welcome. We fight a great many battles with Hell, and these disposable soldiers will help us mitigate losses. Of course, you will be properly compensated. What do you wish for?""Well, first and foremost, I have a sister who needs training. You see, she's an asura who happened to inherit the so called Blood Drop Stance. I'd like her to receive tutelage.""I understand. How about I take her as a disciple?""I like that idea."Dream readily agreed. Of course, Melody's life would be out of his hands if she were being taught by the sword god, but on the other hand, there was no better way for her power to explosively grow. Dream was sure she'd like this idea, and to some extent, he trusted this sword god."Other than that, I need materials. These bots require great sources of power, and strong materials help greatly.""Of course. You'll be paid for their use, and upon destruction, we'll give you the materials to create another. You'll co
The Red Eye clan was exceptionally busy. At the moment, they were making final preparations. Many just stayed in their homes as they were instructed, while people from all over the planet returned to their roots. Like that, everything associated with the Red Eye clan concentrated on their cities.Patriarch Star sat in the capital city. Dream had told them to gather in a select few cities and wait. He also gave them a deadline. At that time, he would move them all, though he didn't say how.They were given plenty of time, and now, they were finally ready. Now, they just waited.That was when Patriarch Star sensed something. Standing, he left the building he was in and looked at the sky.A mile above the city, a hole in space opened. This hole expanded from one mile wide to a thousand miles wide, and it didn't stop there. Everyone on the ground was baffled as the sky became black, turning the city below pitch black as well.After a few seconds though, everyone felt suspended before the
After a few hours, Dream was able to get a hold of the situation.Everyone in Dream's immediate family was marked, their souls taking on this symbol of the ascendency. They also gained titles, but since they weren't Dream's children, their titles were special. His parents had a title displaying their position above Dream and his siblings received a title reflecting their position beside him. Of course, they didn't suddenly gain power equal or above his, or any authority.But surprisingly, they did still gain power. Dream's parents had risen to the class 3 realm, while only one of Dream's brothers became a class 4. While they couldn't compare to Melody's power when she was at the same level, compared to the general populace, they were actually normal.But now, both of Dream's parents spontaneously broke through to have class 4 power. Even Dream's brothers had a burst in power. Not even Melody was spared, gaining more power than all of them.And Dream could feel his effects on them. The
"What the hell just happened?!"As Dream and Tersa hung around outside the planet, there was a ship that suddenly sped toward them. Out came a panicking Melody. Behind her in the ship was their mother."Hi mom!"Dream waved like a child when he saw his mother, ignoring Melody's shock. She waved back, although a bit absentmindedly.Seeing Dream's mother, Tersa became a bit curious, looking at Shannon with wide eyes. At the same time, Melody poked at Dream."What did you do?! Since when do you merge planets just because?!""I didn't do it just because. I did it because I want to take Earth along with me. Now you can see mom and dad whenever you want.""That's true, but at least make some preparations first! You literally just tore the planet apart! People are going crazy! Besides, you left some people behind.""Left people? Oh!"Suddenly, Dream remembered something.Earth had advanced to create megastructures and navigate space. How could they have not colonized other planets like Mars?
